Cross your arms Hold your breath After a while, All will be right. Close your eyes Then open again- Time is renewed. You'll make it though the night. Deep inhale, Sharp exhale. Keep the rhythm. They won't know. Just say hi, and move on past. This is the day. Keep carrying though. You'll keep living because Today is not your last. You pass as cis. You've made it, dear. You're important. You matter to me. I need you here. You can do this. Don't bother what they say. Just let it be.

Passing
"You're not one of them", he says "I can tell, I got this GIFT, see?" The relief clear on his animated face Too twitchy, too... off "They watch us, you know? They got those satellites and **** They'll read your ID through your pocket Then they gotcha!" I nod, only mildly alarmed And throw down my smoke. Step on it to make sure it's out "Only you can prevent forest fires" A childhood echo He picks it up Looks wildly around "Your DNA is on that! Epithelials! I seen it! I seen it on that CSI!" I mumble something His eyes narrow. He laughs too hard. "Kidding man, I'm just kidding" He skitters off, like an ant missing 4 legs I look up, and nod to the ****** on the roof. ~JNc 9-15
