owie kazowie

are you in pain?

was it a hard surgery?

other things since have hurt much more
one hundred and fifty million dollars
to mainstream transphobia

it hurts surprisingly little

to have my body redesigned

it feels so much better
not to have the specter of anatomy
haunting my pants

to have the correctly sized underwear

and sit so weirdly because i can

let me just check erin reed's blog
oh, hey, more pain
and this time it's in my heart
