Sticking To Identity

That which does me distinguish 
I cannot just relinquish
Before Cameras “Slender”
Why would I change My Gender?
All along An Insider,
My name Wilder, not Spider …

Does one seek identity
Making one Non-Entity;
Face to face with things The Right
And still opting for The Tight:
Hitherto not a Villain
Why now to it a steely chain?

The wind does not skirt billow
With Girl’s head on a pillow.
