she cries
for lost brothers
never realising
she's having a psychotic break.
not dead

nasturtiam seedlings

nightmares
about neglectful people
sweat-soaked sheets
in the traffic queue the driver in front
discards his cigarette

will make our daughter trans
when she's older --

just as my parents being straight
made me straight as well
oh, wait a minute...

people are just people, aren't they.
