Abjection
why is it necessary
to essentialize bodies
to move forward within this
revolutionary movement?
why do you need to
know what i am or
who i love to comprehend
my standing here?
look past your illusions
and ignore my genitals
forget my appearance
and open your mind
now what do you think?
isn't it nice to see my
humanity and not my
subjectivity
you're lucky, you know
you're willing to try
move forward from negative
and push past the normative
all of us abjects live
outside of creation
outside of your language
that ignores our existence
it's so hard to see from
your side of the fog
you know that there's others
but you can't see them clear
on our side, however
there is no fog
but a window
where we see
all the lies told
to keep us/them here
I have only one question
why do you care?
families aren't hurt
heterosexuality remains
essentialist politics
are still mainstream
do you think your life
will change or make
your being unlivable
or is the truth your fear
of becoming the abject?
i gave up a center
an existence
an understanding
for a reality
a wholeness
a life without creation
if you accept abjects
perhaps you can move
beyond luck and aid
in the movement to
invent humanity
