i am living today as someone i had not yet become yesterday,
and tonight i will borrow only pieces
of who i was today to carry with me to
tomorrow -
no, i am not 'gay',
no, i am not 'straight', and i am sure as hell not 'bi-sexual', dammit,
- i am whatever i am when i am it.
loving whoever you are when the stars shine and
whoever you'll be when the sun rises - yes,
i like girls,
yes, i like boys,
yes, i like boys who like boys, i like
girls who wear toys and girls who don't. girls who don't call themselves girls,
crew cuts or curls, that really bad hair face in between, i like
steam
rising from the body of a one-night-stand,
i like holding hands
for three months before kissing...

tell me we'll be naming our children beautiful and nothing else.
tell barbie she can go now,
tell g.i. joe to put his gun down and find a boyfriend,
or a girlfriend,
or a girlboyfriend, fuck it, g.i. joe just needs a friend -
i mean, he's plastic, and not even the kind of plastic that bends;
i want to bend
in a thousand directions like the sun does like love does like
time stopped...
