Overheard at the bar:

“Something about becoming a woman 

Has made a man out of me,” he said.

“In a freakish disposition,

I understand vulnerability.

I know now what a woman wants

And long to give it to her.

The perfect balance of a tightroping act,

The thrill of the trapeze.

I’m a lion tamer, man,

And it only took the mistaken identity 

Of Tiresias, and that little misplaced chart 

At the hospital, when I went in 

For a heart transplant,

And came out with a sex change.

I never understood lesbians or English majors

And now I are one.”
