Getting Straight


Fathers

Son

I have a confession to make

Are you flunking out of college

No

Then what

I like girls

I am in a relationship with a girl

WHAT

Yes I like girls

I have no attraction to men

The anus holds no mysteries for me

I like the soft skin of a beautiful woman

The perfumed touch

The soft lips

And above all her femininity

What are are friends going to say

Tommy likes girls

We will be excluded you know

Are you living together

Yes in a little apartment in the Heights

You have not listened to a word that we have said

What is her name

Pearl

What

Oh that gets even worse

Worse what to you mean Fathers

Can you not see it Tommy

You are straight and now you are living with a –

Living with a what

You know what I mean

Are you saying that I am in a relationship with a –

Yes

Are you upset that I am in a relationship with a –

Yes

You do not have to worry

Why

Because Pearl is not a negro

Are you sure

With a name like that Tommy

No she is as white as I am

Her dad for what it is worth is a Klansman

You are going to have to get used to the fact that unlike you I am straight

I was born straight

I grew up straight

I am straight

Do you have a photograph of Pearl

Yes

Very strong and blond hair to die for

Yes

The last time I looked she was a natural blonde

Tommy

Yes

When can we meet her

You mean that I can bring her around

Yes

Times are more liberal now Tommy

We are going to have to accept the Nordic types

Blue eyes

Yes

Tall

She is almost as tall as me

Beautiful

Very

What does she think about faggots like us

I have never asked her

Why

Are you ashamed of us

No

Then why

Because with all the shit going down in the world at present

I do not think that she would care that I have faggot fathers

Anyway she knows your names which might be a giveaway

Is she totally straight Tommy

As straight as I am

A straight Nordic maiden

Think about it Ralph

I am thinking about it

It will something different to tell our friends

Do you think that they will be impressed

Time will tell Julian

Time will tell
