I was out having dinner
With a really good friend And stopped in the bathroom And then at the end While eyeing my brows And perfecting my hair And drying my hands With some nice, warmish air The door opened And I saw a woman’s shocked face. “Don’t worry,” I told her, “You’re in the right place.” And then she relaxed And went in to pee And I couldn’t help laughing! Folks who look like me-- Aren’t common in restaurants Or boardrooms, or stores Or suburbs, red states, Or behind bathroom doors. In some urban enclaves (And more so in rural) Us butchier folks Are not usually plural. So stand tall, dear butches And be proud and plucky-- When anyone sees you, They’re awfully lucky.

I like this perspective... still hard for me to maintain this frame of mind as opposed to the "I'm such a freak" self-talk, but I've been working on it! Public restrooms are my Enemy Number One.
