these are two pictures of myself: the left hand photo is of me before starting testosterone, and the right hand photo is of me after 11 months on testosterone hormone treatment.

I walked into a room; Ashley was sitting in a chair, spinning around and around. She saw me walk in, froze the swiveling chair and yelled, “Aha! I’ve been waiting! Sit, sit!” I took a seat in a cold desk chair. She took out a piece of chalk and began drawing an image on a large, green chalk board.

Round frames formed,
Sunglasses formed,
A nose formed,
A face; a man formed
From something I had yet to meet.

Thick fog from the chalk rose off the board, Ashley had disappeared. Realizing she was gone, I realized everything else was gone too, nothing except me, now standing, wrapped in thick bands of chalk dust now scratching at my skin.

Wider feet lead up to,
Hairier legs,
New muscles,
Defined abs,
Hair on my stomach leading to,
A flat chest,
A rough face,
A voice coming from,
Deep in my chest instead of,
High in my throat.

Chalk vanishing; I was now sitting again and placed back in the same cold desk chair in front of the large, green chalk board. I was alone. The chalk board was vacant of Jakob’s face. It was erased, still vaguely reading, “Trans 101”. Big bold letters appeared over the erased image.

Discovery leading to,
An identity,
A journey leading to,
That something you had yet to meet.

I thought this assignment was really relaxing. I didn't really know how to change my first assignment in order to make it sound like a dream and then realized that I was probably just over analyzing. I thought about my first assignment; about the day I went into Ashleys room and she talked to me for hours. I imagined what it would have been like as a dream, and just sarted writing. A lot of my dreams, that I can remember, are just fragments. If I have a dream that is very real to me, there are always parts of it that are just seen as glimpses. It was very strange when I was writing this, because when I thought about it as a dream, fragments and glimpses were a part of it. The three sections that are writen as almost a poem are fast slivers of the dream. I found that aspect the most interesting part of my assignment.

What a wondeful poem. You have a great talent. It was awesome because it was very revealing to you. Do you generally feel the most when writing about sexuality or are you a poet at heart? Regardless amazing work. I Would like to hear more about your personal experiences and I can't wait to read more of your work :)
