This post is part of my participation in the 30-day genderqueer challenge, which I have modified to a weekly exercise.
Today’s prompt: Write a poem about being Genderqueer
Oh dear. I don’t know how I’m going to do with writing a poem on demand. I usually only do poetry at random when things spring into my brain. I will try anyway, but first, here’s some poems I have already written about being genderqueer:
Singularity
I am genderqueer
Singular they.
Singular them.
Singular their.
People are quick to tell me
They are trying
This is hard for them
They’re doing their best
Plural they.
Plural them.
Plural their.
And
I am also trying
This is hard for me, too
I’m doing my best
But I’m always out-numbered
So they always win
And ‘they’ never will
