Nervous Nelly

Ann Huey, Nervous Nellie

NERVOUS NELLIE

“I do not of course mean to disguise 

or conceal the fact that there are 

numbers of merely frivolous, or feeble 

or even vicious homosexuals, who 

practically do no useful work for society 

at all — just as there are of normal people.”

—Edward Carpenter

“The Place Of The Uranian In Society”

The Intermediate Sex

_________

I guess I’m a Nervous Nellie—

one those merely frivolous and

rather feeble fags, my dears

I doubt if Uranian Poetry—

will ever be considered as

useful work for Society

__________

I can be so vicious too—

simply a tacky drearie-dearie

bitch queen reading the beads

Especially when it comes—

to Yours Truly dontchaknow

my Muse is such a Mable
