Caren Krutsinger Poet Free verse

I Need a Label Please

If the world refused to give me a label
I would demand it!
I would sit on the street corner wailing for one

Because how would I function
Without knowing what cage to sit in?
Without knowing whether to be round or square?

If the world refused to give me a label
I would tear my clothes, and run naked in the streets
Until they came to their senses

And put me in the right cage
And labeled my box
So I could calm down
