On Gender

I am like paint -
fluid. 
I am blendable. 

I can be thick and strong and
with the stroke of a brush
be thin and gentle.

I gently color the paper
where I stand and leave
a mark on the pages
where I've been.

I am colorful, maleable,
not easy to be erased.
I love like the texture of paint.
