By JD
I roll genderqueer over my tongue
And glance at my ever-feminine face
Head shorn to cowlicked protrusions
Brows plucked, and tamed
Rampant patches of body hair grow
Stark juxtaposition to my rounded frame
Long and wiry leg hair
Cropped closely in between
The steel glint of scattered barbells
Catch my wandering eyes and hands
Giving rise to fire alarms
Against the soft and fleshy expanse
Temple to discrepancy
I’ve pieced myself togetherLabels: Genderqueer, poem
