Family

The basic building block, family,

Pivots us to our utopia,

Some of us dream

Of two women and a baby,

A solid foundation to place the

World on – love, truth, two

Women and a baby,

I watch a het couple, and

Their child in bed, the child

Bounces between

They laugh joyfully,

A solid foundation this scene

Could be lgbt, of everyone happy,

Of a future dream

Until you realise they’re selling

Something, our dream,

And even the actors

Cant pretend anymore,

As doom closes in on us,

The structure an edifice,

The performance is staged.
