Gender Bender

Is it really anyone’s business What about this gender thing Does it pertain to likeness Does it even mean a thing If you’re intimate it matters But that’s your business too Everybody wants to know Are they intimate with you Your boss, your government Why do they even care They always want to know What you’re packing under there On a job application … Isn’t that discrimination? Why do they want that information? Is the job fornication? A little box is labeled gender No, I usually just say And when it’s labeled sex I answer anyway Sometimes I say seldom Or … refer to marital status Twice on Sundays Or … never just for gratis Well, come on now, really What do they expect? Will they take my word for it? Are they going to check? if you like this poem, in invite you to read my poem "The Girls"
