lowo kwakungumfowethu omdala ezansi
ngangizwa ukukhuluma ngazo zonke izinhlobo zezinto
angizenzi kumayelana nebhomu le-brocco angithi
umfowethu ungumsekeli kaDonald Trump
uyangishaya
uh uphindwe kabili usayizi wami njengomshayi
sibhakela osekude akhuthaza isibhakela ngalokhu
ngempelasonto edolobheni uyangishaya uma
ngizihudula u-transphobic
unabesifazane abanobandlululo unobuhlanga futhi akathandi abantu
besifazane empeleni udinga nje wonke umuntu
aletha kule ndlu iminyaka emihlanu
engenzi lutho ngempilo yakhe nokuba yimi
ngine-psoriasis yonke umzimba
wami oyisimo sezakhi zofuzo
akanaso kodwa nginakho lokho okwenziwe ngampela
kodwa ngasizathu simbe nginalesi sifo senkinga
futhi akanaso kodwa mina nginjengomunye
kuphela kubantwana bakithi
onaleli gciwane ngokusobala kepha ngikuthola ku-
anti wami ohlangothini lukamama
ngakho-ke nomama akanalo kodwa
akekho noyedwa kulaba bantu oqonda kahle
okuxoxwa ngakho ngengcindezi futhi
angikhathaleli ukuthi ukungondla nsuku zonke
kukwenza kuphume igazi okubi kakhulu
vele ngomlomo ngoba
kuyacindezela ukuba nayo nje futhi
kunjalo lokhu ezingalweni zami okusezingalweni
ongazi ukuthi kuzwakala sengathi kuyaphawuleka ngandlela thile
kodwa noma kunjalo
kusentanyeni umzala wami oyimi eminyakeni emihlanu
edlule cishe cishe iminyaka emihlanu futhi
ubandlululo
ngokweqile ungumuntu othanda abantu abathandana nabobulili obubodwa ngokweqile u-transphobic
ngokwedlulele unama-
misogynistic ngokweqile ukuthi ubekhuluma ngoBarack
Obama futhi ungumsekeli omkhulu
ungumuntu omkhulu ungumuntu omubi ngempela
okuhle angenze okuhle phambi kwabo ngisho ukuthi
bobabili abazali bami bebekhona Ama-70s
kuphela isizathu sokuthi angiphumi
lapha njengamanje yingoba i-Isis ivela i-
psoriasis yami ingivimba
ekwenzeni okuningi ngine-arthritis ezandleni zami
phambi kwami njengoba ngifungile umhlonyane kwesokudla
lokhu kufana kakhulu nesifo
samathambo inkinga embi kakhulu ukuba
nesimo sokusebenza sokucindezela kohlelo lokuzivikela komzimba
lusebenza ngokweqile futhi lungabi
semtholampilo olutholayo
olusanda kwamukelwa ukwelashwa ngaphandle
komholo wami omncane laba bantu bango-bigots
badalula ukuthi sifuna leli phuzu
likuqabule likuzwise ubuhlungu ku-Annie the drivel
uma ubuka udadewethu kwakubi
kakhulu ngokuvumela lokhu kwenzeke
