Official forms ask
what your name is,
your gender,
and your race...
I always write
that I belong to
the human race.
They always "t-s-k"
at my reply.

One helpful official
presumed to write
my race in for me,
and I was sad
and angry
that she
took such liberty
with my official form.

Official forms don't
tell a story
about who am I,
they just give
the pencil outline
and they never
intended to
fill the middle in.

You got it right Jana...I don't like filling out the long ones. James
