Poetry Short Story

Interesting

Stone gargoyle looking at the camera with its head cocked

You say,

It’ll be interesting

To see

How this plays out.

I say,

It’s interesting

To see someone

So unconcerned.

Because, what you find

Interesting

I find

Terrifying.

I’m terrified

I won’t be able to get

Healthcare

When I need it.

I’m terrified,

My friends’ marriages

Will be invalidated

Over night.

I’m terrified

My trans friends

Won’t be able to get

Healthcare.

I’m terrified

My friends

Will be forced

To leave their home.

I’m terrified

My nieces and nephews

Won’t be able to get

An education.

I’m terrified

My way of life

Will be under

Attack.

I’m terrified

My life

Will be under

Attack.

And all you have

To say,

Is, it’ll be

Interesting.
