Lesbian 101

By Marceline Jenkins

Skinny white cottage-core scissoring dainty flowers
Is what comes to mind for boring people
Holding me back
Clouding the view of my destiny 
To be some crazy fuck in the corner
Drinking your blood 
Rasping my voice
Haunting the library 

Lesbian leather lovers lamenting over liquor 
Women are hot 
Women will treat you just as bad
Don't let this stop you from anything
You are just enough
Lesbian as a gender can be 
Just enough

Anyone who says otherwise is bad as lesbianism
Anyone who says sex isn't a workout is bad at sex
And another thing
And another thing
There is no heterosexuality outside heterosexuality
Only people deeming to fit you into something else 
Well they gotta learn something else
Learn 
Butch is not the clothes it's the breath 
Femme is not the lipstick it's the hands

You do not need to be in it to be thankful for what you got
You do not need to label something so unlabelable 
Do not pretend like it is a bad word
Do not shy from the invigorating

A butch elder once said 
“I'm drunk, can you drive me home?”
