ON PEOPLE

She is a girl She has two sisters, a dog And a pair of worn-out headphones in her pocket She is fifteen She plays violin in the school orchestra And sings duets in the sun She is left-handed She’s also pansexual (Just thought you should know) <><><> She is a girl (A different girl, mind you) She has bright hair and dark eyes And a sky of freckles spanning her body She is a netball player She listens to everything that’s said And laughs at everything in response She is an Aquarius Her girlfriend is an Virgo (Is this what they call diversity?) <><><> He is a boy He is on the males’ baseball team And recites prophetical speeches in the dugout He is an early riser He likes old-fashioned comedy movies And his favourite colour is either orange or black He is graduating next year He’ll finally get to ask his school’s star pitcher to prom (Finally is the right word) <><><> ‘She’ is a boy (A different boy, mind you) ‘She’ lives in the countryside And travels 2 hours to campus each morning ‘She’ is a realist ‘She’ studies human relations And has wanted to visit Rome since 'she' was eight ‘She’ is a part-time barista ‘She’ prefers the pronoun ‘he’ (No big deal if you forget though) <><><> They are people They have people they love And people who love them They are people They may have changed to you And yet they haven’t changed to themselves They are people They are still people <><><> (Just thought you should know) <><><>
