i want ! to be friends ! with katya ! i want
to dress ! how i want to dress ! like a gale !
full of glitter ! and back alleys ! a seagull
laugh ! to shake our being ! whose secret lies !
perhaps ! in kicking legs upwards in delight !
painted ! an omnivorous harpy ! goofy !
loving our friends ! lighting up around them !
what a man ! unstoppable ! they’ll say, why !
they’re the perfect woman ! (now that’s me !)
judy jetson ! enraged ! with a penis ! and
obsessed with Contact too ! in every situation !
a little Jodie Foster ! o dear role model
for my role model ! find meaning ! play parts !
everything real ! happens ! behind the eyes !
all those things we cannot prove ! like love !
like the world ! is just ! what we make of it
