the surface project (27)

Do people ever call you by your last name?

ap bio called me emma gay.
sometimes they called other things emma gay, too.
it was an adjective.

sometimes ben calls me emma gay.
it's almost a name - almost a nickname.
except i think he knows the adjective part.

nacho calls me gay and that's all.
it's a name and not the adjective. it's funny.
but it's not my name. it's not me.


emma gay is an identity.
but who am i?
