Celebrate the joy within what is, and then what's missing will appear. The picture is already complete.

i am not anonymous
i am not a number you can push around
so get off my back!
do not pigeon-hole me or
patronize me or
i'll come unglued
not the common man
i get uncommon as often as i can
so stop measuring me
reassuringly
i am not anonymous
i am not a number you can push around
so get off my back!

he was cute and
younger than me but
not illegally younger
and wearing a tight
orange and purple
shirt that had written
across the chest
"are you gay?" and
he smiled and i thought
"isn't everyone?"
