label me / negate me / block me
on every social media app / only to obsess /
to dream unwittingly / to wonder what i'm
doing now. / hold me like twice-exceptionality is a trauma history,
not a lineage of perfect humans /
tell me i'm yours / & perfectly inhuman /
tell me who to be / quote theory at me /
be crime / do gay / make me wonder who
/ i've been for you / treat me like your blog post /
and your becoming / what's wrong with me?
