I Want A President That...

I want a dyke for president.

I want a person with AIDS for president and I want a fag for vice president and I want someone with no health insurance and I want someone who grew up in a place where the earth is so saturated with toxic waste that they didn’t have a choice about getting leukemia.

I want a president that had an abortion at sixteen and I want a candidate who isn’t the lesser of two evils and I want a president who lost their last lover to AIDS, who still sees that in their eyes every time they lay down to rest, who held their lover in their arms and knew they were dying.

I want a president with no airconditioning, a president who has stood on line at the clinic, at the DMV, at the welfare office and has been unemployed and layed off and sexually harassed and gaybashed and deported.

I want someone who has spent the night in the thombs and had a cross burned on their lawn and survived rape.

I want someone who has been in love and been hurt, who respects sex, who has made mistaked and learned from them.

I want a Black woman for president, from a third-world country. Someone who toils sweat and blood for a living. I want someone who won’t make big deals of what race they came from.

I want someone with bad teeth and an attitude, someone who has has eaten that nasty hospital food, someone who made to finish their diploma but still can’t practice what they’ve accomplished for.

Someone who crossdressed and has done drugs and been in therapy. I want someone who has committed civil disobedience.

And I want to know why this isn’t possible. I want to know why we started learning somewhere down the line that a president is always a clown: always a John and never a hooker. Always a boss and never a worker, always a liar , always a thief and NEVER CAUGHT.

…and most especially I want a president who’s faith can’t be demonstrated out of persecution and never experienced Christian Freedom to profess Faith.
