ari • she/they they tell me: choose the silence or the dream. but i agree with my wide-open eyes going toward, never vacillating from this zone of voracious light that will devour your eyes.

I am an inconvenient woman.

I’d be more useful as a pencil sharpener or an adding

machine.

I do not love you the way I love Mother Jones or the surf

coming in

or my pussycats or a good piece of steak.

I love the sun prickly on the black stubble of your cheek.

I love you wandering floppy making scarecrows of

despair.

I love you when you are discussing changes in the class

structure

and I’m not supposed to, and it crowds my eyes

and jams my ears and burns in the tips of my fingers.

I am an inconvenient woman.

You might trade me in on a sheepdog or a llama.

You might trade me in for a yak.

They are faithful and demand only straw.

They make good overcoats.

They never call you up on the telephone.

I love you with my arms and my legs

and my brains and my cunt and my unseemly history.

I want to tell you about when I was ten and it thundered.

I want you to kiss the crosshatched remains of my burn.

I want to read you poems about drowning myself

laid like eggs without shells at fifteen under Shelly’s wings.

I want you to read my old loverletters.

I want you to want me

as directly and simply and variously

as a cup of hot coffee.

To want to, to have to, to miss what can’t have room to

happen.

I carry my love for you

around with me like teeth

and I am starving.

i do think the negative interpretations of "im probably nonbinary but i have a job right now" are kind of reaching. it's obviously a waste of time to theorize the op's intended meaning, so instead i think it's better to recognize how the phrase can be a useful framing device to criticize how much of a fucking hassle it is to get gendered correctly. "but i have a job" e.g. will face discrimination that could threaten livelihood; e.g. don't have the mental bandwidth to explain gender to others; e.g. don't have the time and energy for the soul-searching necessary to confirm. all three of these are labor issues. yes you could interpret it as "but being nonbinary isn't important enough to worry about", despite that being a blatantly bad-faith read. it's more useful to interpret it as "but being publicly nonbinary requires a lot of social effort that, in many cultural contexts, will create more problems that you can't afford to deal with". like cmon it's a really good jumping off point for productive conversations about queer labor rights
