Z7253, when it

Code:

appears

Code:

on

Code:

one’s

Code:

medical

Code:

records,

Code:

means, “high-risk

Code:

sexual

Code:

behavior”

Code:

and

Code:

then

Code:

in

Code:

parentheses “bisexual.”

Code:

There

Code:

is,

Code:

of

Code:

course,

Code:

a

Code:

long

Code:

sordid

Code:

history

Code:

of

Code:

queer

Code:

identities

Code:

being

Code:

regarded

Code:

as

Code:

medical

Code:

conditions

Code:

to

Code:

be “cured”

Code:

by

Code:

anything

Code:

from

Code:

Corn Flakes

Code:

to

Code:

Lobotomies,

Code:

though it is

Code:

something,

Code:

at

Code:

least,

Code:

that

Code:

at

Code:

present

Code:

this

Code:

code

Code:

is—nominally—intended

Code:

only

Code:

to

Code:

indicate

Code:

information

Code:

that

Code:

may

Code:

be

Code:

relevant

Code:

to

Code:

the

Code:

clinician,

Code:

and

Code:

is,

Code:

quote “unacceptable

Code:

as a

Code:

principal

Code:

diagnosis.”

Code:

As

Code:

far

Code:

as

Code:

I

Code:

have

Code:

been

Code:

able

Code:

to

Code:

discover,

Code:

they

Code:

do

Code:

not

Code:

have

Code:

a

Code:

diagnosis

Code:

code

Code:

for

Code:

the

Code:

effects

Code:

of

Code:

having

Code:

one’s

Code:

identity

Code:

diagnosable

Code:

with

Code:

a

Code:

code.

Code:

But

Code:

perhaps,

Code:

though

Code:

I

Code:

of

Code:

course am

Code:

not

Code:

a

Code:

medical

Code:

professional,

Code:

in

Code:

such a

Code:

case

Code:

one

Code:

might treat Z7253 not as

Code:

a diagnosis,

Code:

but

Code:

a

Code:

prescription.

“Diagnosis

Code:

Z7253”, a poem by Nenekiri

Code:

Bookwyrm

I

Code:

find

Code:

it

Code:

incredibly

Code:

funny
That

Code:

the

Code:

first

Code:

time

Code:

my

Code:

sexuality
Truly

Code:

made

Code:

sense

Code:

to

Code:

me
Was

Code:

grinding

Code:

myself

Code:

with

Code:

reckless abandon
Into a murrsuiter

Code:

whilst surrounded

Code:

by
A

Code:

hundred

Code:

or

Code:

so

Code:

strangers

Code:

all

Code:

finding
Their

Code:

own

Code:

personal

Code:

bliss

Code:

together

I've

Code:

never

Code:

been

Code:

a

Code:

dragon

Code:

of

Code:

half-measures
Or,

Code:

at

Code:

least,

Code:

not

Code:

since

Code:

I

Code:

resolved

Code:

to

Code:

live
With

Code:

the

Code:

passion

Code:

my

Code:

heart
Has

Code:

always

Code:

demanded

Code:

of

Code:

me
It

Code:

felt

Code:

sacred

Code:

and

Code:

I've

Code:

long

Code:

stopped

Code:

caring
If

Code:

that

Code:

cheapens

Code:

the

Code:

word

Code:

because

Code:

it

Code:

fits

I

Code:

had

Code:

spent

Code:

too

Code:

many

Code:

years
oscillating

Code:

back

Code:

and

Code:

forth
Over

Code:

if

Code:

I

Code:

was

Code:

gay

Code:

enough
Or

Code:

straight

Code:

enough
Or,

Code:

when

Code:

you

Code:

got

Code:

to

Code:

the

Code:

heart

Code:

of

Code:

it,

Code:

just

Code:

enough
To

Code:

be

Code:

allowed

Code:

to

Code:

experience

Code:

that

Code:

euphoria

And

Code:

I

Code:

will

Code:

mourn

Code:

the

Code:

years

Code:

unlived
As

Code:

I

Code:

think

Code:

most

Code:

queers

Code:

do
But

Code:

I'll

Code:

be

Code:

damned

Code:

if

Code:

I

Code:

won't

Code:

try
To

Code:

pray

Code:

at

Code:

a

Code:

new

Code:

pew

So

Code:

lead

Code:

me

Code:

gentle

Code:

by

Code:

my

Code:

claws
And

Code:

hold

Code:

me

Code:

round

Code:

my

Code:

hip
My

Code:

tail

Code:

could

Code:

learn

Code:

a

Code:

thing

Code:

or

Code:

two
From

Code:

stroking

Code:

at

Code:

your

Code:

tip

My

Code:

horns

Code:

provide

Code:

the

Code:

perfect

Code:

grip
To

Code:

ride

Code:

out

Code:

my

Code:

forked

Code:

tongue
What

Code:

lovely

Code:

providence

Code:

it

Code:

is
The

Code:

long

Code:

night

Code:

is

Code:

still

Code:

young
