gender.app

pull out my phone
tap on the app
needs to update…
they always do
new gradient
same icon shape
wide colorspace
hard to adjust
why do we all
want to shapeshift?
to be seen through
filters we make
on the G train
dark grey sweatshirt
black leather boots
riding crosstown
slider tempts me—
drag it slowly
no one else stares
they just don’t care
this is my stop:
girl in red dress
heels to match her
lipstick and tits
costume changes
inside closets
infinite fits
incoherence
it’s not just me,
everyone plays
gender’s this game’s
in-app purchase
micro actions
& transactions
never enough
to fill the space
if i’m always
searching for it,
the right setting,
flipping through them
will i know when
i have nailed it?
new release notes:
patches the bugs
what if i’m stuck
inside a loop?
keep it running
there’s no kill switch
