(Queer) Gamer (Girl)

By: Leslie LeClair

I want to play my own game.

Not being asked for my number,

For proof of identity after asking me how many games I’ve played.

I don’t have to prove my skills to you,

I shouldn’t have to whip out my score to compare. I belong.

I want to play my own way.

Be a woman with muscles as big as her tits,

No playing around here.

She’s a fighter, give her some stubble,

I’ll give you something coarse to kiss. Lips or fist?

I want to play my own time.

Not racing to completion…

I’m happy to spend my time in the middle.

Maybe I’ll start again,

I’m in it for my own reasons. This is my game.
