An Ode to Guy

I wrote this for a friend on her birthday. While my other work may not be as easily understood, this one (because its for a specific person) is even more so baffling right here!

Names label
fix and delimit
but when expertise lies
in gender
and sex
admit it
"GUY" is a monicker
so aptly unspecific

Re-framing no less
than the commonest name
of what could be
or would be
patriarchy

Calling a feminist "GUY"
instead appropriates
(save for when she's in drag
as UP's respected)
befuddling all sense
of a binary
