I remember on the playground speaking to Allison
Who asked me if I wanted to be a girl
I had peed myself too many times in the presence of men
Like a dog on the orchids my grandfather planted
Like a dog on the orchids my grandfather planted
It’s not easy getting through never hating
In the way one tries to never try hard drugs
In the way one tries to never try hard drugs
Alas one tries hard drugs
One hates like a land stolen
One hates like a land stolen
