Blend
Sometimes it is so seductive to blend
Like an invisible ink to paper
Writing clear onto a white back ground
Imagine wearing the blue burkha on the streets of Kabul
Or a full hijab in the malls of Dubai
Or watching your pronouns at the office Christmas party
I am lesbian here is the world feel to design your self into whomever you want
I recognise that twinkle in your eye, my dog has it too
Panting in anticipation of fetching his slobbery yellow ball
You don’t want people knowing your business
Your rules are so reactive
Is it ok to hold hands today or not
Don’t be upset
Please ignore them
Just bored school kids on the bus from school
Don’t be upset
Please ignore her
Just a scared mother in dread for her dear
Sometimes it is so seductive to blend is it not?
To blend to not exist
