You are NOT a girl!

no violin plays during the conversation,
which is appropriate in that it may
mistakenly
cause someone who overhears to
feel sympathy
for the pervert.

the pervert shakes
her head, refusing
to believe that "it's weird"
is reason enough to change.

this very refusal is
taken by the judge as proof that
the pervert is still under the spell
of years wasted reading
Foucault and studying
Matthew Jackson.

but there are other reasons,
living, breathing reasons.
one of them is learning how to ride a bicycle,
and the other is about to enter the third grade.

the pervert removes
wig and nail polish,
and nods His head.
He pushes them into a large envelope
on which He writes "Inappropriate"
in large, black letters.
