"All the lazy dykes
cross-armed at The Palms
their legs astride their bikes
indigo burns on their arms" --Morrissey
"Desire is a powerful thing",
that's what the lady said
from her hospital bed.
They had to re-break the bone
to re-set it.
As for the bike, forget it.
Another thing: no more beget or begat.
She woke up a dog,
now meet the cat.
These days, she in-line skates
with a lovely
woman-fine sway.

A twist on Kerry's selected phrase "Man, you gotta go," this is based on a documentary I saw years ago, about a transgender woman, a former macho hockey player, who couldn't face her own inner reality until she was injured in a motorcycle accident. Now she in-line skates and is the picture of a woman comfortable in her own body. You go, girl.
