neither, both, between, amongst

around and

down

through

and out

i have told you the answer to that question

you have asked me again and again

and i think you're missing the fact that

because you gotta ask

the answer is

neither, both, between, amongst

around and

down

through

and out

and none of your damn business

ask me how i drink my coffee

ask me what i listen to

ask me anything else

but that's not what nags you at night

that's not what

makes you

angry

why?

do i turn you on?

do i confuse your limp dick

or

perked clit?

do i fuck you

up

more than sesame street

more than one of those things

that's not like the others?

what would make you feel better?

ya wanna see me naked?

i'm gonna tell you right now

that ain't gonna comfort you.

my body's shaped like every kinda body

big muscles that call themselves a hug

big breasts that call themselves a chest

i got hair everywhere and curves that'd set you spinning off-course

so don't look at me and think you can

pick me up

box me in

cut me down

that ain't gonna work.

be comforted by the knowledge that you alone define yourself

and so i alone define MYself

and if it's setting you off

that you can't tell

well

maybe you should think about that

maybe you should try on a little

eyeliner next time you go out or

give yourself a nice

buzz cut

maybe you should walk with or without a swagger

whatever makes you comfortable

and FUCK what people like you say.

you'll be comforted to know

i'm more free than you.

you feel like you gotta be

one or the other,

either

or

top or bottom

not both

not more

and i'm sorry i'm better off than you

maybe that's why you're so angry

you're jealous

cuz i get to be

neither

both

between

amongst

around and

down

through

and out.
