Poem - Birth of a Drag Queen

And suddenly, the world is new
I’ve never seen it from this point view.
Amazing the difference a few inches can make
To change the reality which I now create.

And though my feet are squeezed like stumps
Inside these six-inch stiletto pumps
A testimonial I must profess
How wonderful it is to be a boy in a dress!

Teetering on the edge of insanity
Trying to find a center of gravity
Cutting off my circulation
In order to make this declaration

About my queen-born ability
To walk with such fabulosity
Though this gown’s a monstrosity
My hair, a curiosity

There’s much about this lofty gait
That I did not anticipate
Like how the swinging of my hips
Counters the sway of my fingertips

Who knew there would be such an orchestration
– A body in concert – a standing ovation!
And every step another encore
Deliriously shouting, “More! More! More!”

- By Jason (a member of the funnypoet society)
