In the beginning of begining
I am what you make of me, Jack or Jill. Ungendered Neutral Sexless.
And this is how it always is In the beginning of begining.
But let's cook a man Or a woman if you please.
Take It raw. Clean It. Add a generous amount of societal norms and stereotypes. Let It marinate for about two to three years. Heat a frying pan and sauté It till It breaks into chunks. Sprinkle judgements and confusion, according to taste. When nearing cognition, add some constructs of strength if you want it dry Or beauty if you like it gooey. You will know it's ready when It's brown and hard. Cover It up with shame and let It simmer on low flame for a few more years. There you have it. Your man or woman is ready to be served. Dry or gooey.
But, If you fork It, will It not ooze the same? If you add hot spices, will It not burn your tongue the same? If you have It with freshly cooked rice, will It not taste the same? Dry or gooey.
Because that was how it always was In the beginning of begining.
