Dee Wright - (()) The Gender Trap

Male & female
he may have created them

but I don't
feel I am

either of them.

I am just
...being.

This being female
is like a suit of clothes

one wears

ill fitting...too tight

doesn't suit
the colour of my eyes

or how
I see with them.

Only your eyes
your ' Yes! '

and yes

your fingertips
in the dark

your mouth
upon my mouth

and I
blossom into woman

just for
that

eternal second

we become one

become
as
one

sexless through sex

& then
I'm back

to just
being

myself
again

sans all that
gender crap

just
the me

that happens

to be

woman...woman...woman.
