are you a girl?

by january low

are you a girl?
does it matter?
what are you going to be when you grow up?
does it matter?
do you dance?
does it matter?

do you know how to cook?
does it matter?
are you married?
does it matter?
do you have any children?
does it matter?
how many do you have?
does it matter?
will you have any more?
does it matter?

when is your next performance?
does it matter?
do you still dance?
does it matter?

are you a girl?
does it matter?
what do you want to be when you grow up?

are you kind?
are you generous?
do you say please?
do you say thank you?
are you patient?
are you helpful?
do you let the other car into your lane?
do you say good morning to the Starbucks barista?
do you say hello to the uncle in the grocery store?

yes

are you curious?
are you brave?
are you capable?
are you loved?

yes

then why does it matter?
if you’re a girl or not?
