I USED to like boys....
I used to like boys..."
"will you love me for-e-ver," he said
"will you be the mother of my kids" he begged
I dreamt of green paddy fields last night and I smiled even though I don't like the color green. I dreamt of black tornados hurling me away. I smiled. I like black. I packed my pink chaddis and sent them off to another man. He smiled even though he didn't like pink. I dreamt of him with another woman and I smiled. I like women. And I like him. I dreamt of myself sitting in a corner with my blue-black hair framing my face perfectly, almost making me glow. I smiled. I like me.
Do you remember?
Did you remember?
Can you remember?

"my love, I'll fly with you till you drown"
"just look at me... look at me..." he said

"I used to like boys....
I used to like boys..."

"He opened the car door
She got in
Unaware of the trap
He opened the gate
She walked in
Unaware of the gap
He opened her mind
She slipped in
Unaware of the snap"
But nobody heard. Everyone was deaf in graceland....
"Some chick once said
"big girls don't cry"
I listened
I tried being BIG.....HUGE....GIGANTIC....
I used to like boys....
I used to like boys..."
"Change is on its way," said the horrorscope. I realise this when I see him. He stares from a distance and smiles. He glares from a distance and winks knowingly. He is not who you think he is. He is me. He is him. He is everybody who wants to change. He is the future.
"I used to like boys....
I used to like boys...
I used to like boys...
Till I became one."
