for LGBT Society.

But I’ve got to find a group

that’s just right for me.

I know I have to go

when I see the poster

on the noticeboard

in the Students’ Union.

DRAG SOCIETY

in capital letters

with a date and time

and a room number.

Why have I not noticed

this poster before now?

There’s a photo of a group

of people of many shapes,

colors, and gender expressions

in costume and makeup.

I make up my mind,

I’m going to do that,

whatever that is,

whatever that means.

Drag

I’ve seenKinky Boots

andRuPaul’s Drag Race.

In advanced drama

we were told DRAG

stands for Dressed

Resembling A Girl.

It happened in theater

in original stagings
