GAY AMERICAN GOTHIC
“We didn’t need
dialogue. We had faces.”
—Norma Desmond, Sunset Boulevard
The lovely Kansas couple—
Posing for the gay painter
Grant Wood recently
The older gentleman farmer—
In his bib overalls stoically
Holding his hayfork
He’s the RFD sugar daddy—
Standing there with his young
Gay nelly farmwife partner
The New Depression’s here—
Foreclosures are dime a dozen
Way out here on the Great Plains
A couple of Fly Over State fags—
Posing with down-to-earth dignity
Silently staring at nothing
