Moving to Lesbos

“We need a new Amazonia” she says
I laugh
My suggestion is forcing all the men off of Lesbos
And reclaiming our rightful land
We will resurrect Sappho
To lead us
Neither of us know how to talk to girls
But that’s okay
Because we will live on an island of lesbians
With Ellen and Hayley Kiyoko to guide us
I smile
And then I cry later that night
Because that conversation made me feel better
But we only had it
When she tried to cheer me up
After a fifteen year old boy
Told me
An embryo should have just as much of a chance as me
Me, a person
He said it doesn’t matter that he will never experience the terrors of pregnancy
Because apparently
His “opinion” is as valid as mine
We were only trying to imagine a world without men
So let’s go find a necromancer
We’re going to bring back Sappho
