In any marginalized community, whether people identify themselves or not affects us all.

I am writing graffiti on your body. I am drawing the story of how hard we tried.

I think it is very useful to know ourselves, but when we start naming and labeling, that is dangerous, that gets problematic. It negates that things are always changing. Besides, it's hard to pin a label onto something that's always moving.

What doesn't bend, breaks.

I would rather have these things weigh on my mind. At the end of this tunnel of guilt and shame, there must be a light of some kind.

The old farm roads a four lane that leads to the mall, and our dreams are all guillotines waiting to fall.

When I was like sixteen, I was a total chick I had big hair. I was seen as this attractive girl, and I would get all this attention. And then I just cut off my hair, and I quit playing that game.
