Outdated Concepts
who needs to know their gender identity
as the moon and sun compose the dance
felicitous and in harmonious balance to
the sound of non-binary revolutions
they transit sapiosexual fulfilment without
specification as to which one of them
takes the traditional lead in the ballet
unless you are German …
der Mond but die Mondnacht
die Sonne and der Sonnenaufgang
the rise and fall of the Third Reich
saved us from such linguistic confusion
because the is the for this that or other
stars and their charts are neutral
lie in the eye of the beholder
neither black nor white but colourblind
as the night proceeds from dusk
and dawn calls in the day
metaphors proceed on eloquent tongues
I like your kisses and embrace your caress
and while opposites might attract
othering is not part of my repertoire
male female transgender bisexual
exceed heteronormativity in itself
gay lesbian ***** does not determine
love kindness and compassion
feminine and masculine are labels
outdated and not always helpful
when solar and lunar
stand for what they are
and that is pure bliss
