The Fallen Preppy
.
The teenaged queen
Wuz a fallen preppy of a trust fund
Kid.
He done used to break night
At Colombian gay bars on and near
Jackson heights’ Roosevelt avenue, queens, nyc’s
Queer barz.
When the sun rose,
He’d think of puritanism & abstinence
Galore.
Then, his handz would shake ‘till
He got in that suburban bed of hiz
& slept it the hell off, for the love of
Christ Almighty!!!

Not only
Attended
Hiz very, very
1st
Sexaholics Anonymous
Meeting,
But, immediately
Thereafter,
Attended hiz very, very
1st
Exodus International
Meeting
To try to turn
Hisself into a
Nice, moral straight
Man.
Immediately upon
Exiting that
Church,
He and some cultist
Member of the group
Almost got run over
By a
Frenetic Pakistani
Cab driver,
Crossin’
Manhattan’s
Spiritual 8th Avenue,
For the love of
Christ Almighty.
The End!!!

The mid-twenties
Fallen preppie from
The prominent ‘burbs
Of new jersey
Would go into that
Cussed restroom and
Pretend he was
Pissing up a storm
At those occupied
Urinals.
Due to these illicit escapades, our lad met a Dominican with horned-rimmed
Bookish glasses & an ethnic preppy look
By the name
Of Bernardo.
Onto the house in the leafy, costly
‘burbs of bucolic ridgewood, new jersey they went,
Swimmin’ all too secretly
in its heated pool,
just filled with the lust, guilt, & confusion galore
that only a drug-induced
state can oh so temporarily relieve.
Then, the
Dispiriting,
Utter petrification began
On the both of their accounts,
& life wasn’t even worth livin’.
I mean a glorious glorious sunrise
Wuzn’t even appealin’ no mo’,
‘till the very, very instant that they done fled from each other
& continued whorin’ the hell
Around, in order to forget the
Utterly cussed duality
If not the degregation,
Ov the situation in the
1st place!
THE END!!

- During the late 1980’s, my poetry was published and featured in Manhattanite Harold Serban’s THE POETRY EDGE. I was also a regular reader at the Newyorican Poet’s Café but the late night hours and the ordeals of returning to the Bronx got the best of me. A short story of mine entitled TONY diPASQUALE published in NUVEIN MAGAZINE. Currently, I have several poems accepted for GAY FLASH FICTION and INCLEMENT MAGAZINE.

Thank you for the poetry. I like them all. The third poem was my favorite.
