Trying Not To Be A Man

Some mythology was made to order
for me, some was not.  I won’t hold myself back
when I come to the border

between these; instead, I cross.
I’m an ignorant bastard mostly
so it’s not a graceful passage. I toss

my baggage over the wall
so I have everything, then drag
my privileged carcass over. At once, I feel small.

Short of that, though, I’m game to see
what’s what though I don’t yet know where this is
or how it gets along without me.
