You snatch
my hat
tilt it
at an angle
of say
...Frank Sinatra
or something a little
more rakish than that
& with a slouch
& a shrug
become somehow
heavier
become male
become me
mimicking me
back to me.
I laugh
at this
transformation
embrace you
love you
for being
you
& how
you can
be me too
with a wink
trilby tilted
over one eye
cute little mini dress
so pretty little breasts.
Boy! If I ever
looked that good
I'd run away
with my self!
I kiss the mock me
& we
merge
into one.
