quantum state being

Gender engenders estrangement from our selves

Bifurcating humanity as if we are not one species

Sexuality dividing adults from children

Male and female separated like odd and even numbers.

Living in the context of contemporary social relations

Infused with the ruling patriarchal superiority

Sometimes an odd thought overtakes my brain

Thinking for a moment that I inhabit an alternate body.

I have masculine and feminine in me

I have both child and adult in me

I am young and old, potential and realized

I embody every possible aspect of uncertainty.

You may see me as a singular old man

Dancing with visions of sugar plums and fairies

Gnomes and elves and jingling bells

Cutting geometric patterns into the ice.

You may not find me as pure as driven snow

Covering the world pristine as a tabula rasa

Leaving a quiet hush as the storm tapers off

Waiting to glitter crystalline under the cold blue sky.

In the dark days between the solstice and the new year

I am alive and dead like a bare naked tree

I am arriving and departing as we all are

I am awake in a dream of time passing.
