Zhe by S.J. TylerA slender waist
slipping down to narrow hips
an androgyny that I stutter at
so feminine in beauty
and masculine in shape
yet underdeveloped in each
and it's making me weak at the knees
how you walk on the tight rope,
where I would wobble and probably fall,
you strut and stand firm
and I adore you for it
because you are not one or the other
you are not both
you are your own
and no one else can stake claim to the same 09/22/2004 Posted on 09/22/2004 Copyright © 2026 S.J. Tyler

| Posted by Max Bouillet on 09/22/04 at 11:13 PM People get so hung up on Gender. Great read that puts focus on relationships instead of details on the rules of whom are "allowed" to be with whom. |
