Guilt and Regret
40.
Ex-hippy, ex-punk
blending the worlds
into a semblence of self.
Transgender, transexual,
trans-human, perhaps,
(though there was no such thing then;
still isn't now, but maybe
by the time you read this
we'll implant nanotech
and become digital travellers)
Leggings and dresses,
dyed-black mohawk
and massive Doc Martens;
black shadow and kohl-rimmed eyes.
This was my youth, my delight;
me exploration of self
in art and modern life;
teasing the soul from the doctrine
and becoming me.
