                                   Boyfriend


                                 When I say
                            “Hey Boyfriend”
                                   You say
                         “I used to be a boy”
                   Your flesh was tight then
             And the ripples on your stomach
                                 Were firm
                            Beneath my hands
                        You stood at attention
                                       By
                        The mere sight of me
                                   Naked
                     When I used to be a girl.
