Doctor’s office April 30th
It felt like years
felt like years
we waited and wondered
waited and wondered
if we would ever be seen
__________________________________________
then we had the usual
get tests, do this, do that,
they could have been drones
we could have been drones
maybe we all could be drones
__________________________________________________—
Let me tell you the last thing
I pointed out to the Staff Person
that on the blood test form
they listed my birth gender
as being female! and they explained
we can’t change it now
