The trans coding of Long Live the Black Parade

Annie Allen, Gwendolyn Brooks

This poem was written by African-American poet Gwendolyn Brooks. It comes from "The Anniad", a mock epic poem that tells the story of a Black woman and how happiness is impossible for her; the only thing the young character has are dreams and wishfull illusions, which ultimately lead to disappointment. I am well aware of this context; still, I thought it fitted Will, and also Mike, a character living a disenchanted and frustrated life. What he could have lived in another life without Will.

I encourage everyone to go read the poem, it is so beautifully crafted!!!

Some quick cleric! will mourning (or not??) his paladin

Cleradin for the soul

I saw the TV glow x the marauders

Cruel Summer x Wolfstar

And believe that your kindness has made me love you deeper than if I deserved your love:  and though I couldn't, and cannot help showing my nature to you, I regret it and repent it; and shall regret and repent it till I die!"
