No Pride to Be Had in Dallas

by James Finn Garner

Each June, ball teams celebrate
Their fanbase’s diversity
It’s just marketing, sure,
But also visibility

All teams, that is, save the Rangers
Who’ve never held a Pride night
Dallas likes to keep things orderly,
Straight and oh-so white

I once thought things were big in Texas
That cliche’s an inanity
Big hats, big boots, big tits and hair
But a puny view of humanity.
