from chaos comes clarity
 
a few new works
Their Remedy

they told me to simply
"take 3, and call us..."
"yeah, yeah i know, in the morning."
there's no cure,
because i'm not sick.

i refuse to let them say it
the words that condemn me
to this prison.
the word is "no."

i'm not crazy
i'm just malformed.
disabled.
not right.

i wish i could simply
"just take 3"
but pills can't make me
whole.

MY Remedy

it's like this

legally, i'm a she
but that's not
how it should be

i need a snip here
a cut there
a high dose of T
(for manly flair)

i need a good M.D.
with a dose of
adjustment
fed through a hypo

i need a little
more time
and a lot
more care

who will help
me get to there?

i'm stuck in a cell
with no air to breathe

i just need to get out
does anybody
have the key?

it's like i'm
suffocating
in a woman's bones
with the wrong
heart
beating all wrong
inside it.

someday
i'll look back
and laugh-

staring forward
through new eyes.

It's a Mistake, I'm Sure of It

Congratulations!
It's a boy!

Yeah,
that's what
they should have said.

They made a mistake.
It was all wrong.
Check between
my legs again.

Are you sure that's right?
Why can't you see...
that there's no bump
where a bump should be...

Doctor, I'm telling you
I should know.

It's wrong,
all wrong.

Turn that baby over,
flip that girl around-
look her in the eyes...

she's a boy.

God's Mistake

He paces softly with his broken wings
afraid to spread them
for fear they tear apart.

He's so unwhole-
they say he's God's mistake.

it takes a minute
to stop and talk-
but all they do is walk on by.

He's worn down to his very core
with feathers falling to his feet
only seconds to catch them
before they dissolve.

God's mistake is bruised and broken-
he's just waiting for a second wind
to catch his dying wings
and carry him home.
