1. Transport Me

"Transport me
To another place, another time
Transport me
Give me a different face, that isn't mine
And transform me
Cause I'm not well for this world
Transport me
Did you know Momma used tell me Daddy wished I was a girl
I was a girl

Transport me
To another place, another time
Transport me
Color a different race, outside the lines
And transform me
If I can change the world
Transporting
We'd go beyond the binary of being a boy or girl

Take me someplace where the core of me
Isn't up for debate
Take me elsewhere
So I can escape this hate
I'm being the best with what I got
I'm taking the test every day I'm not
These are the thoughts that are in my head
They are held together
By a thin thread

This system is not working
The system is flawed
Doing the same things that I've done before
Gonna follow my stream of consciousness
And imagine something better than this
Follow my stream of consciousness
And imagine something greater
If I can't escape myself
If I can't escape this body
If I can't be someone else
If I can't escape this history

I'll move through it, yeah
I'll move through it

Transforming, transporting
To another place, another time

We can change the world"

Hats off to Ari Gold and the spirit of equanimity.

2. I'm surprised that hasn't happened here yet

What with Cheeto constantly egging on his deplorables to "take back America."
