What I Really Want

What I really want
Is to be
Free
Of certain compromises
Required
To function in “civilized” society

I just want to
Be
With people
That I can love
Without subjecting us to
Expectation and obligations
That twist so easily
Into contempt

One another

I write about grammar because
This inescapable edifice
Tries to
Define us
