Sex is bubbled
Registrared
Pre-approved
I’ll fight flight fucking
Inguinal tucking
Pant over line
Give me some time
Sign up for sex
Intrapersonal hex
Bubble fuck
Bubble fuck
Sensual space of sorts
We connect in face of state
Disconnect in place of incorrect
Inconsiderations
Bend Sinistress, I see you there!
Sprawled out on your exotic chair
Playfully twirling a curly hair
Crafting perfection on the synthesizer
She’s the material girl clad in ultra-white polyvinyl chloride
And she defines an entire generation
Bend Sinistress, please hear my prayer
Make me make it out on the Internet there
Show me the way you bend your electrons
Show me how you construct all of your songs
Clad me in your leather too, oh Sinistress
I’ll take all, wrap me in it, tight, squeaking on my skin
Bend Sinistress, the waves move your way
Discrete and continuous, sharp, smooth, your say
She lost her voice but I give you mine
Fashion me in fashion, give me a sine
We just want her back
Lost between the waves
We just want her back

Alter a set of beliefs
That were handed down to me
When I picked the gender I wanted to be
That’s when I felt free
Give me what I always wanted
In this life I desire
To feel whole, mind on fire
Back at me, reflective surfaces
That betray my female belief
I want to see others like me
Feminine lovers and friends

Septic Cistern (2019)

You stood up tall
That’s alright love it’s not for everyone somebody’s gotta fall
Into a fireman’s net we forgot we were holding
A jarred spine and a broken coccyx, that’s all
The rush of air enough to remind
To bring back to life, to revive
Who and where I’d spent time
From the reduced aisle
The spinning world reduced to nothing
But tessellating tiles
And password protected files
Recovered from a USB stick that was mine
On it, my existence
Corrupted and fragged
A digital body, bagged and tagged
Clean-up job necessary, I’m on it
Small pictures represent what I’m famous for, iconic
But myself had clearly been changed, edited
Doesn’t mean it’s not my data
I never said it did
We called it the Great Mould
Infectious, growing
A place to put people who don’t do what they’re told
Channelled harnessed anger
Utilised for advertising money
From proto-crypto-fascists
Whose bedroom mirrors lack reflections
A systemic point of failure located in a boy’s computer
It’ll be work to flush the septic cistern
A cistem of 3 options to fix one weak point
Opaque clique, default, ordinary, but no less valid
Trans lucidity, they shed some light on what it’s like
Glass consciousness
And the trans parents, who are all clear to see through
Forcefully open for others to learn from if they can
Fragile and easily shattered
But most don’t understand the pain of glass
You don’t get to just ask questions
Ask consent first
Wow what a mystery
What does another woman want anyway?
She's a special kind of woman, by the way
The daily fear just gets more complex, it never goes away

Alison Selby recommends:
A Tessitura of Transfiguration
by Victory Over the Sun
This is such a strange and versatile piece of work - its raw expression of becoming and being trans really shines through and brings me out of my usual genre/style zone.
