His name is Freedom but he prefers to be announced as We, Us. He or Him. Please don\u2019t refer to him as them, they or those.<\/p>\n
He cannot pale any bluer in the face. For centuries no one has told him what to do. His stained glass eyes pull Us closer to the divine. <\/p>\n
They don\u2019t know if he breathes through nose or gills. We know that his priorities are bills.<\/p>\n
I would love to snap on his powdered wig and black robe. I\u2019d shrink to gavel size and hide with all the other tricks up his sleeve, sopping up genetic sweat with my moppy hair.<\/p>\n
His name is uncle, the verb, used as a cry or surrender of defeat. His name is freedom but he prefers to be announced as We, US, He, or Him.<\/p>\n
His priorities are bills. Government name Clarence sitting in the judiciary seat.
\nI wonder if he still pushes pills the way that he\u2019s bulldozing femininity.<\/p>\n

\nWe are in the state of being free within society from oppressive restrictions imposed by authority.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
