I am all of the above

And I am none of the above

Trying on labels

Like one size fits all

Filling out questionnairs

Leave me with more questions

Do you mean this

Or do you mean that

Or do you mean this with that

Or that with this

Who you are

And who you love

Who you want to touch

With your body

And who you want to touch

With your heart

Which parts are you

Which parts are they

And what defines

The choices you give me

To tick the boxes

In your questionnairs

If this is that

Then that is this

It all depends

Which this and that

You are referring to

And so I have come to

The only conclusion

That could possibly explain

I am all of the above

I am none of the above

No wonder we tick

The box called Queer

It’s the only box

That makes sense here!

I rest my case.
