My Bisexuality is Like a Keepsake
Sometimes I Wear It, Sometimes I Store It.
My bisexuality is like a keepsake:
Sometimes I wear it
Sometimes I own it
Sometimes I am it
My bisexuality is like a keepsake:
Other times I run away from it
Other times it hides in my pocket
Or wrapped up in a locket
My bisexuality is like a keepsake:
hidden in my back pocket
a handkerchief
that is a part of me
and yet not
that I only take out sometimes
Other times it’s folded inside a life
of marriage and kids
and a suburban home in a zone
all alone with my bisexuality.
