Foreign Affairs

San Diego Zoo
3 puppies line up, a lion rears beside a purple bottle holder, while the pink alien gazes dolefully into space. It was the beginning and they were unable to stop it...


My beard grew back. it scarred my soul
I once was a woman but now am nothing
i shave but it grow still more
silence
sorrow
suffering
i approach a man, he is gay
he wants a kiss but i'm a woman
he think's i am a man
disgust
disgrace
desire...
i go to the gay bar, it is full of men
they want to kiss me, i let them
they want more, but i am a woman
wondering
pondering
formulating
the gay men don't want me, the strait men don't either
i don't want women, but they want me
i run to a foreign country
excitement
enticement
eroticment...
the men look at me and smile
their women have beards too, but mine is beautiful
i am at one with this foreign affair
happy
horny
hairy
