CIS

by Bob Rosenthal

I remember picking sides
getting picked last
no choice at all
I choose a boy like girl

my side is always her side
mula bandha unlock chakra to my heart
I remember only boys and girls
separate entrances first grade

liking girls is the one thing I do
now it’s like being Jewish
another choice that chooses
so what ? four or more genders flow

binary is no longer a planetary view
and you still mean the world to me
