**today is earth day. Remember: capitalism causes climate change
Those Gender Feels (tm)
Or: a hot take on the Shakespearean Sonnet
Picture, if you will, a big grey trunk full
Of dance clothes in my closet in disuse:
Velvet crop tops patterned with hot pink skulls
Skirts and dresses, shiny leather shoes.
Imagine glitter stored away in boxes,
Imagine baggy pants with elephants,
Ripped up fishnet tights and knee high polkadots,
And all the things I love to wear to dance.
This clothing is a costume I remember:
Something I can easily 'don and 'doff.
Would that it were so easy with my gender,
That "woman" were I switch I could turn off.
If I could I would fold up and put away
My label "woman" for another day.
