Dead Gay Indian

I smoked meth for the first time when I was 22. In the methiest, messiest, most disgusting bar bathroom I'd ever been in, and I hadn't been in too many before. In the middle of Wyoming. At The Zoo. Or The Rendezvous. On the back tank of the toilet. Friends had brought me here.

I was awake for three days. 

I finally fell asleep.

My friend died the next day.

He'd been awake for seven days. He was diabetic. His boyfriend beat him. He walked out in the snow, barefoot, and died.

They found his body the next morning. Frozen, bruised and barefoot, in the snow.

No investigation was ever attempted.

A gay boy dies on the Wind River Reservation. 

No one seems to notice.

Girl Who Deserves A Chance

 Ryan, You asked me once, "Why do people love me?" I'll tell you why... Your energy is what makes people fall in love with you. It's how you make them feel. It is not your body, your money or your looks that make you magnetic. What makes you unforgettable is how you transform the hearts of people around you with your simple presence. That is your energy, that is your power, and that is why people love you. Jessica,     the girl who deserves a chance...

Backstage Stooge

 Dear Ryan,  You're delightful and a real treat to be around, a regular jack who's so down to earth. What you see is what you get with you. No pretenses, no false fronts, no ulterior motives or ill intentions. You're one to say what you're thinking with your eyes, you can never hide behind lies, and your sighs give you away. Although you're an exceptional actor, you shed those roles only to recreate yourself whenever you feel you need to. I suspect you've got some secrets and perhaps you very well could be a demon in disguise. But I seriously doubt the dark side of you isn't just as beautiful as the light side. You're no one's fool and you're fooling no one. You've simply got to walk in any room and your energy speaks for itself. You're one of a kind, and don't tell anyone, but I think my heart might become rather fond of you. Your co-star and backstage stooge, Jonah D.
