​
What Kind Of Faggot Are You?


Are you a cherry blossom or evergreen?

The online quiz determined that I would be a giant sequoia,

but the German in my last name translates to oak.

What I’m really asking is

what would you grow to be

if they didn’t sliver you down to sticks

and feed you into the fire.
