VCU magazine

How do you write about gender and sexuality in a provocative way? A magazine at Virginia Commonwealth University wanted me to answer this question for one of their issues.

Vigilare
Refusing to look at the camera and love it
I think a heart was broken when this was taken
Society told me to be submissive
So I started smoking and changed my pronouns to hurricane

Dry Heat
Masculinity is a dry heat
a heavy handed slap
the fall afterwards
If I told you there was a utopia here, would you believe me?
If I told you that this sand held god
Led them to sleep
Would you come be with us?

Come be with us
