Non-Binary by Stella Hervey Birrell

Oct 3, 2018

Insistent
shedding layers of
title, pronoun, expectations
like clothes
dumped in
the messy
trail from
the stairs to
the bath

The most
controversial
neutral –
they, them, their –
moulding a community
into acceptance
sure they are
malleable into a perfect
sculpture of tolerance.

Blinkered
to their own needs
unawareness complete and
couched in complaints about

that seven year old
who used ‘sister,’
instead of ‘sibling.’
