i never wanted to be a man
didn't want this legacy
this southern fried heritage of hate
irrational intolerance
no macho shit
hunting fearsome deer
or drinking bud in sports bars
i'd rather read a book
than watch football
anyday
never really wanted this dick
or this pudge in the middle
didn't want the white man's history
it never taught me anything
anyway
not how to live
or how to love
or why we're here
