Rats will steal, cheat, lie...anytime about any thing.
In a frightening nightmare I found myself looking at a mirrored ceiling stark naked, and discovered that I am a Negro who is circumcised. I felt depressed, downcast, sitting in a chair-—a wheelchair. That meant besides being Black and Jewish, I’m also disabled. I said aloud ‘This is impossible.”
” No senor, it eesn’t,” whispers someone from behind me. I turn around to see my Mexican boyfriend.....so.....I am a Black homosexual, Jewish, disabled, gay, with an illegal boyfriend, a drug problem, and HIV-positive. I tried to pull out my hair but find I’m bald.
The telephone rings. It’s my brother: “Since mom and dad died the only thing you do is hang out, take drugs, and laze around all day. Get a job you worthless piece of crap. Now I fimd I’m an unemployed orphan. I try to explain to my brother how hard it is to find a job when you are Black, Jewish, disabled, gay with a Mexican boyfriend, and a drug addict, HIV positive, bald, and orphaned. But he doesn’t get it. I hang up. It’s then I realize I only have one hand.
With tears in my eyes look out the window. I live in a shanty-town of cardboard and tin houses. There’s trash
everywhere. Suddenly I feel a sharp pain near my pacemaker.... Besides being black, Jewish, disabled, a fairy with an illegal boyfriend, a drug addict, HIV positive, bald, orphaned, unemployed, an invalid with one hand, who lives in a slum, I have a bad heart.
At that moment my boyfriend says to me, “Sweets, my little enchilada, did you decide who are you going to vote for in the Primary? Hillary or Obama?
OMG, I can handle being a Black, disabled, one armed, drug addicted, Jewish queer on a pacemaker who is HIV positive, bald, orphaned, unemployed, lives in a slum, and has an illegal boyfriend..........but please, oh dear God, please don’t tell me I’m a DEMOCRAT....
