LOVING this Me! By Lisa Johnson

This thigh-baring in public dyke.
T-shirt: Legends Are Born In April
(fuck yea we are)
Compression socks poking from tops of well-worn slouch boots Me.
Eyes blazing behind the mask.
My steps out pace my new alluring scent of isopropyl and eye cream,
like my beloved perfumes used to.
Before this “whatever we will end up calling this time.”
Today, for the first time ever,
I yelled at That Dude.
We ALL know who I’m talking about.
And we ALL know it doesn’t matter why I yelled.
We ALL know I was right.
Am right.
Today at 10:25 am at 7-11, That Dude met
This Dyke, sub-category Mouthy.
This Me is done being Silent because being Silent around dudes who are wrong is what got us here.
This is Me declaring it:
Expect more thigh.
Expect more yelling.
I am LOVING this Me
