Free Association

Some days I forget that the word “gay”
has ever meant “happy”
because the confession ”I’m gay”
in my experience
has most often been met by emotions ranging
from vaguely disappointed to knife-wielding homicidal 
and I cannot imagine 
that gays faired much better
back when “gay” just meant “glad”
Some days I just can’t see the connection
