A Galaxy Far Far a Gay

Never felt I belong,

A lone geek alternative in an

un familiar

un friendly

galaxy.

 

More clones than the Rebel Alliance could muster,

Surrounded by Sontarans.

Fat

ugly

dirty

dirt filled men with venom laced fingernails

and

tongues spitting acid.

 

My naive self penetrated like the Death Star,

No sign of Han Solo.

I sail solo

wishing to ride your millennium falcon.

 

Sith red mist,

Unspoken taboo

So far from Naboo.

Far far away from fantasy

Drenched in reality.

 

Jabba the Sluts

chain down bleach blonde boys

Bolted like their broken dreams

trickling into the canal.

 

Who needs the scene

and all that's obscene

unseen by the 3 gay monkeys.

 

My sexuality resides within

Me!
