Homosexual or Therapy (by Nicole Santalucia)

Nicole Santalucia took part in a downtown (New York) reading last night and made a big hit with the crowd. Here's a poem she read: 

Homosexual or Therapy

He is cute and pink and large and an elephant in the corner of the room

I want to be an elephant too and pink or purple as long as I am compatible to

             that one

in the corner of the room and I will do anything it takes to become an elephant

and anything it takes to get him to have sex with me

I’ll mind my business when he wants to play with the other boy elephants

I’ll hide my drinking habits and let him take advantage of me

I’ll stop sleeping with my brother and let him sleep with my brother if that’s

            what he wants

I won’t tell him I know he’s an elephant I won’t tell him that I want to be an

            elephant too
