This way, That way
I’ve been called all genders
All week
All the time
Because my fucking name change
Is delayed by covid
And SSA office closings
Now I’m in the ER
Being her, being called him
When the nurse walks in she wonders
Which one of them I am
They look at me wide eyed as if
They are scared to know me and I know
That it didn’t used to be that way
And it makes me feel lonely
