Girl or boy?

Which is it

pick one,

careful!

Can't change your mind, you know

one

the other

(not both)

not right.

Not right.

Neither, both

(which is it?)

they're waiting.

It's their business, they said so.

Close your eyes

spin point stop!

Compromise isn't conclusive,

elusive isn't acceptable.

Can't make up your mind

(you don't know your mind)

no worries

they'll tell you

paper scraps in a hat, reach in

pick!

Choose!

Folded in your palm

new label,

sewn in your collar

tug it down, too warm

doesn't fit quite right.

Stamp on your forehead

ink, wet, running.

Labels

are for other people

to read

(and what if?)

(if I want it for myself?)

what you want

is what they want

sacred, desecrated

no secrets.

Loud

and proud

both or nothing.

Not yours to keep.
