Bi-Curious Taco Night 🌮

A Filipino crispy pork belly egg breakfast taco

In Greenwich Village on a perfectly warm summer Friday night

A table for two

Next to tables for more

Filled with straights

Medical students

Drunk girls

Cow towing to the men they sit with

Tight shorts from online shopping

And New Year's plans

And weekend houses

The drunk girl makes animal bird like noises

Calls everyone "Baby"

And shhhshes everyone

Even though she is the loudest person in this restaurant

A gay ghost walks by

Wandering to a table for two

In the back corner of a patio

On a perfectly warm summer night

A pair of finance bros sits at the high top

They speak directly to each other

A couple, on a date, sit comfortably close to each other on the other end of the high top table

Gay ghosts are harder to find

Because that what happens to us

On perfectly warm summer nights

In a city like this

But I do see them

Walking by

Looking in on patios

Lit by strung lights and Pride flags

Because why the fuck not?

On a night like this

In a city like that serves

Filipino crispy pork belly and egg breakfast tacos.

*And then, Britney Spear's "Crazy" starts playing almost from another time, another world.

I bop as I eat my Filipino crispy pork belly and egg breakfast taco.

A Sunny Spot.

Sunny runs Lenox Fast Food breakfast spot in Central Harlem. He and his beautiful wife, And Fernando, Run the spot on Lenox Ave, Just below 143rd St. Next to a bar called 'A Touch of Dee'. They serve plates, Fried fish, Coffee with milk or half 'n' half only... And cheese grits. Everyone orders the cheese grits. I've never had them, But secretly, always want to try them. The waffles are toaster waffles, And come in 2 sizes: Regular and silver dollar. There are tins ready with butter, Prepped bacon, And these little metal bowls, That Fernando has on hand to mix your eggs. Which he folds with precision and skill. In the back of this narrow, Black-painted-walled hole in the wall (the kinda spot my Dad would love), On this block of Lenox Ave., There is a picture of Obama- maybe from 2008. On the wall next to the "If someone is choking" sign. Today a man, Much taller than me, With a smile and energy that could light up NY, A man who Sunny knew by name, Wa...

My Pride

" My P r i d e " Lyrics by Daniel May A man once told me that I couldn't come back, Our secret too un-safe to be sound. I begged and I plead-ed for my unsworn little life! That, with him, I'd finally be found. He touched me. He tore me, Deeeep-er and clipped my wings far from the ground. In pieces I fell, Into the swell. Swirling like dust to the ground. My pride is what's keeping me from telling you, The truth, The pain of what's going down. I'm a lost little boy with no sheep to be found and each day just feels like the same. My Mother, She scold me, And told me, "You can be anything that you work to be." But running and jumping through fiery rings, Leaves men singed, Burnt so black they can't see. She held me, and told me... "There's a light at the end of this tunnel! Don't leave befooore it gleeeams." And then she let me go, (with) My pride in tow, ...
