Why is gender is an issue at all?
Why let gender define me?
Why not just be "Matthew",
And do whatever feels good at the time?

Can one be "somewhat transgendered"?
And if so
Is it the "best of both worlds"?
Or the worst?

Some "normal" people will tell me that
at any given moment,

I am once again, inconsolable.
And so
I stay busy
and try not to think.
I avoid pondering
what could be
and I am calmed
for another month.
