Attempted triangle
collapses to a straight-arm lock
Jordan's new belt

How does one deal with prejudice
handed down from Scottish tarts like feudal law
to be obeyed by every citizen. This
denial of human rights is such a bore
to bear from someone who has masked her name
as male and that women are perceived
as unimportant voices in a world of men. The same
misogyny that as a child she had received.
Assigned as male at birth, I fought so long
to fit within this binar gendered role
until at last I broke away into a song
of freedom for my strictly female soul.
I would, were I a billionaire like she,
campaign instead 'gainst poverty.
