mew.

if i were a boy, i would wear loafers
every single day, but not the sort
with tassels because i know that
you don’t really like
things with tassels. and
i would be studying
to be an english professor
but i wouldn’t mind
that you were going to be
a doctor. because that’s what you love
and science and literature really do
go well together.

if i were a boy, we would be married
in las vegas, because
both of us are poor
and you do not like things to be
a great to-do. and you
would wear a white dress or
even overalls. because you
would be the most beautiful bride
either way to me.

if i were a boy, i would buy you
a little house in a little forest
and we would live there
with our big dog and our
three children. and when
it was time for you to have our
little girl, i would rush into
the hospital room, and all the nurses
would be jealous. because
their families will never
be a happy as ours.

and if i were a boy, i would be your boy.
