Unsee Me Man

Unsee Me Man

A Poem by Toni
"

See me woman / treat me man

"

See me, woman,

treat me man.

Do all you can

to ignore my waist

my food intake

my lack of grace

the sheepish look upon my face

at sight of woman

reserved for man.


Can you not see me, woman,

yet speak as man

would to another

instead of other; hunny, sweet, shy

'bright enough' or, still more rough,

pretty. Parts a'bud

to you with meaning

are but misleading happenstance of flesh.


I stand here, woman,

soul of mankind as any other.

Stoic, proud (despite my training)

as I await my next castrating.
