I Often Wonder

I often wonder if girls with blonde highlights ever question their individuality Same as they probably wonder what would possess a female human to shave 3/4 of her head and pierce a hole through the middle of her nose. It’s not that I think uniqueness is determined by our outward displays of gender and costume choice. But something about your mall bangs, target brand cardigan, doc martin, cost cutters style tells me you’ve bought into all the corporate bullshit the world had to offer. You opened your eyes out of the womb but the glow of the mcdonalds arc always compromised your vision. As you flip through your people magazine criticize the body god gave you and so sacrifice your divinity. Maybe I am the one who is too judgmental but I couldn’t imagine driving around in a minivan without the intense urge to throw myself out. I couldn’t sell out to a pre-packaged fast-food existence. A middle-aged hum-drum pass-the-remote slow death midwest art school dropout misery. Keep me oddity. Keep me strange queer girl and never let me go
