New is Old


New is old

A shame really

The one who has the name

well...

She still has a name.

She still knows not of mine

but I may as well not

exist.

For she is legal

I am not

A lesbian

?

And I am not

Can drive a car

And I cannot

Can break a heart without lifting a figure...

And I am crippled by a conversation in the park...

 

goodbye to what never was.

goodbye to what was never attempted.

goodbye to hopes or dreams.

because the lovely multiverse it seems

has set the metronome jsut so

that ticks and tocks

smack me with blows

and throughout the lows

the lows

lows

lows

lows

lows....

The lows prevail.

So long sweater

Please take care

I am a poet, musician, and strong proponent of LGBTQ rights, gender equality, and being your true self no matter what ANYONE says. Do what you please, comment anything that comes to your mind, make you happy first. Then your dog/cat. That's pretty much it. Hail Santa. THE END.
