Someone
By Zythyra Basha
Call me Sir, Madam
Mr., Ms.
Boy, Girl
Man, Woman
Whatever you need to see
It’s all the same to me
Someone else’s words
That cannot begin to describe my reality
Transvestite, Transsexual
Cross-dresser, Gender-bender
Drag Queen, Female Impersonator
Berdache, Androgyne
Whatever you think you see
Doesn’t look that way to me
Someone else’s words…
How many genders are there?
Does anyone really know?
Does it even matter?
I don’t think so
There are many places to live
Between the boxes labeled
Male
and
Female
