Call me trashbag Jones
Ah jones is that your first name or last?
Trashbag is the former my dears
Never call me me jones
That was my father
And the is to be no memory of him still living
Pay attention to me
Listen to my chant
My mantra I say to myself
Over and over
Night after night
Stare into my soul
And watch it change in its whisper
With just three words
I am human
I am human I am human I am human
But please
Call me Ma'am
Because society told me it was the politest way to address a ladyAnd society told me I was a lady too
But don't worry they weren't presumptuous or anything of the sort
They simply peeked between my legs when I was born
And decided it there
Not even looking me in my tiny closed eyes
Screaming face
Bright red head
Maybe they gazed at me and saw me as pink
They told me to stay that way
Call me madam in that case too
Tickle me pink if my pronouns go astray
But also
Call me Sir
I am superiorOlder, wiser and with books covered in blue
I am an intellectual egnimatic strong young man
I ooze priviledge and sit legs spread
As if I'm reminding everyone what the doctor put on my birth certificate and that the proof lies underneath my hyper masculine dirtied up teenage boy style jeans
Except I wasn't made as what I advertise to strangers trying to sit next to me on the train
And I chafe my thighs in ill fitting pants trying so hard to flex my persona and make my muscles ache trying to prove an empty argument
Call me Mr and run to my every need inferiors
Don't forget to
Call me Trashbag Jones on top of all that
Bcecause when my girlfriend so caringly asked me
What do you want to be referred to
And even gave examples
Ones that said miss
Him
And
ThemAll I could think
I don't know
I don't care
Call what you will but say it with some fucking respect
Call me what you will but with recognition of me as a person
Call me what you will when you judge my at face value
Call me what you will when you look at me how I want you to
Seeing me as who I am
And what I'm likeWithout a gendered labelling
Sorry I never became a little pink or blue
I simply acted as one for years on end
Before I saw I had some fucking opportunity
AndChoices to make
Still now
Even if I tick the most boxes
It doesn't seem to make me true
And transitioning into a new tangled package
Of they then and their
Seems like so much trouble to put everyone through
And rejection to muster up courage throughout
I guess for now I'll stop and give up
Before I reconsider again
Call me Trashbag Jones
Call me Miss
No
Call me MxCall me Sir you must
But
Call me something endearingly
The more likely I am to run
Call me with love
Call me with support
Call me with respect
Call me when you want to talk
Call me maybeCall me by my name
Call me what seems to fit best
And I'll call you when I find it what that it
Fuck this is hard because I feel like I'm destroying the old identity I made and lived
I could call myself queer and non binary
Instead of a strong lesbian woman
And for the most part
A non binary stance seems more right
Just crazy new in action
Call me fucked up but I'm slightly struggling
Call me in a minute just give me time
