call for submissions: celebrating queer bodies

well frankly i'm pretty tired of talking about bodies
when the internet was invented back in 1994
or whenever it was I thought to myself

well self at least you can stop worrying about your body
you can finally be what you always though you really were
words on a page
a voice that sings
in the heads of strangers as it never could face to face

for a little while it worked out that way and then it didn't anymore
i'm not bitter but I am tired of talking about bodies
and here i am not bitter but still wishing these words could be my face
so that every corner of the world could in some sense be my place
so i'd never again have to worry if I was getting enough vitamin e
but things never really work out that way for me
