Can the trans talk about accounting?
Can the trans study accounting?
Can the trans teach accounting?
I transact and relate.
I draw lines parallel to the
Scars on my body.
No beard, false nails,
Long hair and square face.
Can I be here?
Is this wallet vacant?
Excuse me, I want to learn.
Look at the frame.
I'm not the attraction.
Another day of class.
One less day of exposure.
Sunny day and long sleeves,
Hiding in fabrics,
I weave my future.
Today there is controllership.
The teacher enters.
I raise my hand, silence.
He didn't notice.
Can the trans contribute?
Should I be here?
It's presentation time
What stands out the most;
My explanation or
My voice?
Do I have a voice?
Can anyone hear me?
I hear laughter, whispers.
Yes, I hear them.
I know your intentions.
It is not the first time.
It won't be the last.
After all, the selective semester
Just started.
