If men are from Mars
and women are from Venus,
where surely the shopping is wonderful,
then what planet, or stoney sattelite,
do gay men, lesbians, and those nearer
being a third sex than they are at ease with come from?
Wherever it is, between Venus and Mars,
they have to work quite hard
at being a force in their own right,
to resist the magnetic pull from one direction,
and the push of a sterile vacuum from the other,
to be stable and secure members of society.
Well, wonder no more my friend:
