Inside the space where the thoughts
are your own, where the brief
space between wondering
who the fuck we are
and what does it matter to anyone else,
in that cubicle, in that closet
and holding tissue to wipe away
the fear of passing
out when others demand to know
why you are using the toilet in Carolina,
surely all we should have to say,
all that needs to be said,
I am a girl,
I am a boy,
I identify with one,
I don’t identify with the other,
we all started off as girls anyway
in the womb, so as I sit here
contemplating the world I figure
it’s important that
I need to do my business…
I suggest you mind your own.
