What if wonderland
was the underbelly
of the world alice
thought they knew
the rabbit hole
being the spine
they fell through,
alice watches
a pocketwatch
ticking inside
their ribcage
as tea slowly
pumps around
their blue china
thread veins,
further down
alice greets
a posse of
whispering
flower buds
that bloom slowly
singing golden
afternoon in
their stomach,
spinning around
as their blue and
white clothes
puff inside ...

Please write me down with your eyes
note the smile I gift
walking across these
white chlorine tiles,
did you believe I was broken
lost in strange text fonts
covered in hateful lies
does my irony upset you
as my scars dance naked
in broad daylight?
does my small frame offend you
as my body ripples water we
happen to share and glide
does my laughter slice
through your pupils
measured in media
sized ignorance?
please write me down
with your eyes,
my scars will
bare a smile
back at you.

Foibles
My foibles
Occurred
When i had
Four balls
But once
I was reduced
To two balls
I lost
My foibles!

A letter to the non-binary community
I didn't need
to see a title
or press my ears
listening out for feet
patting down stone
upon arrival,
don't you see?
it's laced through
each of our bones
without a single
seam on show
so please, don't
go disappearing
too many people
try doing this for
their entire lives
even I tried on
a few occasions,
but we know better
than this don't we
dearest human?
this is exactly who
you were always
meant to be and ...

People prepare meals before a body dies
but never prepare
recipes when a body
begins to blossom.

On Gender
when somebody
i know gives birth
to a child i never
buy a pink card
or blue card that
says girl or a boy
stereotypes that
should be gone
& are out-dated
i choose a green
card or a rainbow
hurray it's a baby
sex doesn't say
anything about
gender identity
yet still there is
hatred, assaults
ridicule, violence
i pray for a world
where everyone is
accepted, welcome
& where transphobia
is a thing from the past

Fuss
It does not cause a fuss when you speak against the king or president of a country.
And if you speak against the police or the military, you will not be labelled as a hater.
So why does it cause a big uproar when someone speaks against LGBTQ people?
When did homosexuals, bisexuals, and transgender people become so important?
If they were doing the right thing, they would not care what others say about them.
Heterosexuals do not march with flags and demonstrate for straight people rights,
Neither do they go around and talk nonsense about being proud to...

What Is Your Name?
No, I think you misunderstood. I mean the name on your birth certificate.
The name your parents handpicked themselves
When they sat down with that giant book of names imagining what their future child would be like.
So I ask you again, what is your name?
Oh.
It's so similar though.
What's the point in changing your name if you're going to pick one identical?
At that point just stick with your real name
Instead of making up one
I mean I don't like my name but I never tried changing it
Because my mother gave me that name

Not The Weight Loss Miracle He Had In Mind
Norman created a formula
that might make him become thinner.
But after he gulped down,
he felt strong pains and blacked
out. When he woke up,
he looked at the
mirror. He
is now
She.

Under den Linden
Unter den Linden
I have a soft spot for the German language
when a toddler, I had free access to a military camp where they had enormous horses and let me sit on top of one of them (looking up horses,
I think they were Belgian draft horses)
Since I was 5 years old at the time, I reserve the right to be wrong
My mother said I could speak a little German
I don't think so, but when the Brits and the Americans came, my few words of German were too soon forgotten.
In the late fifties, I was onboard an old ship that

A Warped Tree
Today, when not arguing with Walter the Jew
on Facebook or Twitter
the ambiance in the house was surprisingly calm since I got a key to my study in peace to read my latest collection
and found, at times, the poems had an internal rhyme and were little stories
The pity is, I have to write without a publisher and
can't afford to hire one, those I dare to ask run a thousand miles, one of them a poor man, is a lecturer in Udevalla
Last year, I visited a crooked tree so shy its roots curled in bashfulness, and its leaves took an autumnal...

Petals
There once was a Rose hidden from sunlight
Even in the shadows it shone so bright
Thorns so sharp, though seldom inflict spite
Through harsh times, it prospered with all its might
But plucked were the Petals by those close
Abused and battered by the lowest of the lows
Afraid to blossom only for them to dispose
Deserving to flourish in the most beautiful of meadows
Even in the shadows it shone so bright
Thorns so sharp, though seldom inflict spite
Through harsh times, it prospered with all its might
But plucked were the Petals by those close
Abused and battered by the lowest of the lows
Afraid to blossom only for them to dispose
Deserving to flourish in the most beautiful of meadows
