a city of mushrooms
filled to the brim with
grazing giraffes
and
death-dropping drag queens

I want to live in a fantasy

I want to be surrounded by
a fairy tale
coupled with
what our own world ought to be

loving
and caring
and inclusive
and free

I want to see women rule
in the forms of trolls,
centaurs and
Supreme Court justices

I want to feel power
over myself and my life
and I want to feel that while
dancing among fireflies
