I poem I just wrote, as yet untitled (any suggestions?)

If I were to write
a poem
about the prejudice
and harassment
I face
every day,
it would be hard

without using large,
alphabet-block words
like trans
sexual
and gender
identity
that interrupt the
cool flow
of a river
of poetry.

So,
if you wouldn't mind
my splashing
in the water
can I ask
What the fuck are you staring at?


I wrote that at 3:15 exactly this morning. I knew I'd just hate myself if I forgot it by morning. I'm glad no one was there to see me in my p.j.'s (inside out, as it happens) with my hair standing on end in a bed-head mow-hawk, while I searched for a pen in my disaster of a room. (I am cleaning it!)
