Ode to Google Street View


Ode to google street view

 

Oh the gays

 

From Christopher street

 

To 42nd

 

To Castro and

 

The Haight

 

On every street

 

In every city

 

The one on which I am home

 

Is in the center of the gays

 

The gayest road in every ville

 

The most rainbow flags per capita

 

Montrose

 

From your loins I come

 

With glitter in my blood

 

HIV plus or minus

 

From every era I am born

 

In perfect cruising form

 

With mustache or without

 

With Campy lisp

 

With gay power fist

 

Or slackened wrist

 

In tank tops, leather shorts, or Levi jeans

 

I tell you now

 

I am the Queen
