Learn What A Pronoun Is
You ask me for my pronouns now,
But why, I wonder, do you care how?
If you’re speaking straight to me,
There’s no need for them, can’t you see?
When we converse, it’s you and I,
The only pronouns to apply.
A word like "he" or "she" won’t do,
When all I need to hear is you.
Learn what a pronoun really is,
It’s

Pronoun
Pronoun?
A pronoun no longer describes all
How you are born doesn’t count
A misguided child, backed to the hilt
A young soul, changed on a whim
Acted upon by those paid to protect
Savagely protected by those we elect?
How come this sudden radical plague
Of designer gender’s a different shade
Those rainbow colours a swastika?
Or a cross? confirm our senses lost
Diving

The Lost Pronoun
Oh! THOU art lost and gone perhaps forever
By equi-vocal pronoun now replaced
Where once were I and THOU in shared endeavour
Abandoned and neglected left to waste
Since THOU departed there’s a missing piece
Within the language where we speak of love
A vacuum in syntax of our caprice
Where once we two combined as hand in glove
For it’s

Who can tell what pronoun you are
Oh so far away in space
No one even knows your race

When a Pronoun Lacks a Nominal Antecedent
What is Truth?
That old unanswered question.
I know when I'm telling a lie though.
I lie not. There I was
minding my own business,
making myself a complimentary cup of coffee
in the hotel lobby when
this man leaves his seat
and stands right next to me, glaring.
"Where is she?"
He wore a workman's knitted skull cap.
He pierced me with steely blue
