Underneath the armpit
this single strand of axillary hair
gives major goals
to the body and soul,
the self is highly
subjective in the meantime.
Underneath the armpit
this single strand of my hair
makes the feeling alive again
in this pretentious surrounding
based on the clichés.
Underneath the armpit
this single strand of my hair
relishes in the sweat
to be judged once
for its length and size.
Underneath the armpit
this single strand of my hair
embarrasses the audience
for its uniqueness,
in the live spectacle
of the evening.
Underneath the armpit
this single strand of my hair
gives goosebumps to people
to misunderstand the gender
with some unanswered questions.
Underneath the armpit
this single strand of my hair
breaks the stereotypes;
physicality is an aspect
of gender
to love body and soul!
