Standing still, not to be seen, hiding in plain sight. I can pass as straight to get on, fit in. I was happy hiding my queerness, it made life easy, especially as a young man. The border is my true self as a young man… wild and fecund. The heavy oppressive frame could represent society holding me in, trying to force me to conform.
