The Gay Unicorn

Older, the lonely teen that I became

spent far too long in bed with just my thoughts

and books to keep me just this side of sane

fantastic worlds that my attention caught.

The novels Alan Dean Fosters wrote

let my imagination eager slide

from Star Trek and Alien to dote

'til Spellsinger and self-pleasure did collide.

Anthropomorphic people of that world

became the special place within my mind

where specific fetishes unfurled

and led my thoughts some darker paths to find.

 But none more strange that poor dad was torn

 was my rejection of the gender I was born.
