Silly Language

Banana means banana

Chocolate is chocolate

Sex we say sexo

My love is selvagem (“wild” – PT BRA)

You think I’m a child

Just ‘cause I write like one

Don’t mistake me, I’m wild

I can give you good fun

I’m a writer, not a whore

Your fun is in my tongue

It’s in my fingers

I’m a lesbian, not a boy

I appreciate cuddling

As much as my friend Mariana appreciates gingers

You don’t like me,

You respect me

I don’t like you

I analytically write about you

Silly language, won’t catch me

If I fall, a new drunken friend will always teach me

It’s not about being free

But about feeling queer.
