isaiah phillips & daniel ramon


gay pride
you may think it's funny that
two very different guys are up here
talking about gay pride, we have the preppy
skater guy and, me, the gay jewish atheist.
but everything may seem unlikely that neither of
us might even do but we are going to tell our story,
even if you heard.
dan-iel ra-mon, is the name put together and you
said it right. you might see walking around in
the hallways, smelling like a fresh pack
of marlboro cigarettes, with my baggy levi's
jeans and hollister or polo shirts, then you see my
accessories, my girlfriend robin and my preppy gang.
i-sa-iah phil-lips, i don't need the same introduction,
i already have a list of adjectives attached to my name:
outcast, reclusive, opaque, smart alec, gay and last but not
least, the atheist. but i'm not that different from you, aren't i.
no, we're exactly alike. you've probably heard that
we kissed in a park. well, it's true. i don't care
what you think of me now, it's not going to change
who i am. only who i like. go ahead, shun me
like you do to him. go ahead and ignore me.
go ahead and judge me. go ahead and stereotype.
we're just showing gay pride.

I think this is going to be a cool story. I like these two characters. And I like the title too.

I liked this one. They're different, but the same.
