and you
know about electrical
and me
i've just got this shirt
that makes my shoulders look
pretty broad
not as broad as yours though
so
lemme open that jar
lemme carry that box
lemme hold that door open for you babe
even though you can
just as well as me
if not better
i compensate sometimes
in the bedroom and i
know you're letting me
hold you down and i
know you want it that way
anyway
and then i
take care of that spider in the shower for you
and big spoon you with my
smaller arms and
smaller legs
wrap my whole body around you
to make me seem more
enclosing
i guess
but you're
tougher than me
and you
keep me safe
and you
aren't supposed to
are you?
or is it ok?
if i'm the butch and
you're the femme
well then
what's it mean that you can
firefighter-lift me
and you always win at
sports and card games?
what's it mean that i'm
five flat and you're
six two?
what's it mean to be me
standing next to you?
some days
it's not enough to say
that it's ok
sometimes i feel like
i need to be bigger
to protect you
to love you better
like maybe it'd make more sense if
you were 4'11
with long hair and lashes
floral scented garments
and
no knowledge of bikes or
ball games
but the truth is
i'm not as good at fixing things as you
and there aren't that many girls shorter than me
and i don't think i'd be as good as you
at making it ok
that we're different sizes
and anyway
if i start saying things like
i'm a boi
cuz you're a girl
and
i'm strong because
you're weak
well than i'm not letting you
the way that
you let me
carry the groceries
you let me
stare down the jock boys
you put your hands on my
chest
you
link your wrists behind my head
you lean into me
let me be the one to lead you
you let me
feel like the big tough guy i am
in this tiny little frame
and then i
fuck you to sleep
glad you're sleeping so you
can't feel the quake in my
little muscles shake
these things go hand
in hand
i make a sweet butch
to your tough femme
