The Beach

I want to go to the beach
See and be seen
Let the sun hit off me
And sparkle on the water on me
Ha oo, straighten my lines
Ha oo, tighten the bounce
Ha oo, chisel out my blurry edges until I am something nameable
I don’t want to go to the beach yet
Or I want to go but not to take me with me
Or I’ll go if I can wear a different body
Or I’d go, but not, I’d go, but I’m my body

Buddy Too

Nobody wants buddy to dance
Buddy is the opposite of impressive
Buddy isn’t dangerous
Say anything and see
He’s cleaving off the excess
And shaping someone less defenseless
Buddy lowers all his voices
Rounded figure, sweaty forehead
Buddy wants and doesn’t want a croptop
Buddy has no other choices

Basketball

I played basketball today
Me and my roommates, we were at the park
I worked my body hard
And I pushed until every breath in hurt
It didn’t take long to get there
I played basketball today
And my body bounced around the court
I felt a kinship with
The round and bouncing basketball
Let part of me melt with every drop of sweat falling
So I get in the line for the knockout game
I’m not a child despite the best efforts of me
I’m not surprising, I’m the warm and fuzzy
Already know my words and speak them with me

Devour
03:28
|
|||
|
It’s weird being wanted
It’s weird by someone so discerning
It’s not my place to say this
It’s weird
Having a body you want to be around
When I want to vault out of it
It’s not my place to say this
And I’m going back to bed
Are you coming back to bed?
You look like you’ll devour me
And in those moments I feel all nicely
You’re and you’re not convincing

Hot By Halloween
01:55

I’m gonna be hot by Halloween
I said that before last Halloween
And so many other times it doesn’t mean
Particularly anything
I’m gonna be hot by Halloween
Be ready for the spirits and the parties Gay Christmas brings
And I’ll be able to be anything
And under the costume on me
I’d go, but not, I’d go but I’m my body
I’m gonna be hot by Halloween
Be sexy for the night so deathly
Become the product that can sell me
Maybe we can go out dancing
I’m gonna be hot by Halloween
Get a nice haircut, twist my newly spindly
Limbs and midriff bendy winding
Shaped into shapelessness
And under the costume on me
I’d go, but not, I’d go, but I’m my body
