Dear BioDaddy,

My I-land is like an independent nation state 
A normative fiction I cling to in a state of dissolution as I look for your body in my body
And my over-populated internal state
Is a crowded ship that makes me question the possibility of claiming any citizenship.
And I don’t know what it means to want a relationship with you
Because you are the shape of all the intangible ties I can feel tugging at me

Who am I to say where I end and you begin.
Why trap you in a single body
when you can be every body.

I want to be in deliberate Kinship, except it’s not a ship it’s a boat and I want you all in it.
