Gender is defined by a wide assortment of things, don't be fooled into thinking that there are only two.

It swells with the rain,
My little puddle.
Each drop jumping,
The growing puddle’s heart beat.
It shifts and morphs,
Till it is a little puddle no more.
Mud mixes in,
Creating patterns, faces, bodies.
I watch my puddle,
As it ages and changes.
Until I too become a puddle,
To mix wit the rest.
This composite of puddles,
Will not become a river.
But will wither and dry,
In the sun.
To join the sky once more,
And await the next rain.
