Trans

A girl with a penis

or a man with big tits

a shape from myth or legend

I’d give an arm and a leg and

still I’d never understand

who inhabits that strange land

I saw you in that window

and how can I ever know

what that reality is like

my perception is on strike

while I try to understand

your nature’s odd demands

      Trans

      are you a boy or a girl ?

      Trans

      how do you see the world ?

      Trans

      will I ever have the chance

      to count your ribbons and your curls

      in some other world ?

I saw you in that movie

and somehow you move me

you are more than ever strange

that for me would never change

still I want to understand

the fate written in your hand

You are weirdly wonderful

and so bravely beautiful

oh you pretty prostitute

why do I feel destitute

as I try to understand

what I ultimately can’t
