No Entiendo A Mi Padre Cuando Me Llama Desde México.

No entiendo a mi padre cuando me llama desde México.

He talks about the weather and asks if I have heard about the sun. I tell him the sun has visited me in times of great need, but my father is already postulating about his garden. The pineapples have been growing in the heat for one and a half years and will be ready to harvest soon.

His plants are tended with patience and love, watched in development from seed to maturity. So careful is he with these living creatures and plot of land he calls his own. I remind him it’s only his for eighty-seven more years. Perhaps he should consider future generations of the living. But his voice is distant across the lines. I don’t have time to think about anything but now.

I think about these things after we hang up. I wonder if the pineapples fulfill him. Or if the sun warms his old bones.

You don’t have to be soft and gentle and patient about your gender. You don’t have to cater to binary people and wait to be told your valid, you can preach your OWN validity. You can shout it from the top of your lungs, scream it from the rooftops, make it roar saying, “FUCK YOU I AM WHO I AM” Be you and be LOUD

You are the air I need to breath. My body has grown dependent on you and you don’t even acknowledge my existence anymore. I’m suffocating without you. And you learned how to breathe without me.
