On our second date, I planned to wear a bow tie. I spent the whole day spitting out butterflies so you wouldn't be able to tell how nervous I was. We had other plans, that were probably worthy of an Indie rom-com, but I fell at roller derby practice so you took me to the emergency room instead and as I was filling out forms, you said "so, what are you looking for?" I said, "maybe an x-ray, although I really don't think it's broken, it's probably just a really bad bruise, it's lucky it's my left arm." "uh no, what are you looking for with... this?" "OH... just the basics, a queer, polyconcempted, anti-oppressive, animal friendly, gluten free relentlessly complicated courting ritual, followed by some kind of... illogical commitment period... let's make it worth it. I wanna live in that moment just before a kiss, not awake yet, but not dreaming not all grown up, but no longer teething, let me be the laughter on your lips. let me skinny dip in your mouth in the moonlight, let me be a whisper before you fall asleep, I'll whisper 'you... are everything'. not really everything, but a lot of things, like soft, and warm, and super sexy, wanna wake up and play with me? you probably won't get a lot of sleep, if you're not careful, I could fall deep in like with you. I'll respect every one of your untouchable places 'cause I've got a shit ton of them, myself. for instance, don't touch my heart when it's thundering, you wouldn't swim in a lightning storm, would you? that was a test; you said yes, so you passed. yes, my body is a mine field on its bad days-- on those bad days when mirrors are monsters, make your eyes into a safe place for me to hide from my own self doubt. 'cause sometimes, I'm made of pussy willows. sometimes, I'm made of what mountains are made of when they laugh at the wind for trying to blow them down. but sometimes, i'm made of glass. I don't wanna say 'be careful,' though. I don't really need you to be careful, I just wanna say that I can't help it if I'm sharp when I shatter, so don't tell me it's silly that I'm afraid of the dark, just fuck me with all the lights on in the middle of the day, I'll show you my home run dance. It's not very cool. In fact, if you're looking for that side of me, don't hold your breath. don't hold your breath at all, I wanna be deep in your... lungs and stuff so... breathe." Here, I paused for you to say, "taxiiii" but you said "what else?" "let's see... don't tell me I'm perfect or I'll never trust what you say. don't expect me to 'play nice'. don't eVER call me 'young lady'. don't tell me I'm pretty unless you say, 'you're pretty fuckin sexy when you try to pee standing up'. it's not true, but you could say it anyway. don't buy me things, give me trouble instead, make me crazy, I promise, I'll do the same for you. Dance with me, make it dirty. I'll be Patrick Swayze and you can be Baby. I'm squirmy, and I'm hard to pin down, and I should wear a crown of caution tape wound around my fake halo. I don't like cuddling. I think of myself as the big spoon, hard as metal, confession I'm totally the little spoon all the time, try not to notice. I could be your never have. I can guarantee you've never had to practice this much patience. Don't look for me on the easy road, I erased it from my map a long time ago, I didn't like how straight it was. When I was a little kid, the first thing I did when I got an ice cream cone was bite the bottom tip off. I wasn't an unintelligent child; I just think it shows how committed I am to getting dirty. so show me your dirty. let's leave a mess in our wake-- take the whole thing by storm and make it worth it.

I cannot handle this level of adorable that is Dia.
Dia: This piece is called 'Emergency Room'
Someone: Yaaaaaaay!
XDDD
I think it was Sabrina Benaim
Panic Liz same
This was powerful and I thought the home run dance was freaking adorable!
They're humorous, sexy, and deep.
They are freaking amazing. Dia may be one of my new favourite poets.
"Those bad days when mirrors are monsters"
Fantastic performer!
Not as much medical content as I was hoping for but this is great.
Wish I could have been there to get your autograph. F#*¤king awesome
theyre so adorable??? im dead
"When I was a little kid, the first thing I did when I got an ice cream cone was bite the bottom tip off. I wasn't an unintelligent child; I just think it shows how committed I am to getting dirty." OML this poem is my favorite thing ever~!
What ever happened to Dia? I miss Dias sweet words so much...
ABSOLUTELY ADORE DIA
They reminds me of Andrea Gibson. I'm entranced.😍
Ashlee Marie hey :) it would be “they remind” just so you know! conjugate the verbs the same way you would for using the word they normally, not the way you generally would for a singular person!
I love this so much. Thank you!
I love this one so much
I love dia's poems
Enjoying the shout out to roller derby; Oh yeah!
Way too perfect
i loved this.
favouriteeeeeeeeeee
She reminds me of Ellen Degeneres. She looks a lot like her and she has the same kind of mannerisms.
+Evil Ellie Dia uses they/them not she/her
love this one so muchhh
Enjoyed it and loved him with Sabrina too!!
Jamie Hung I don't think she see's herself as a he. She kept referring to herself as a she. just saying.. Oscar jottitt.com
+Oscar Maya They prefer they. Dia is genderqueer and prefers gender neutral pronouns
Oh thats so cool! I didn't know that Thank you!
I love this poem. =]
They're so cute
loooooove
I need to stop getting poet crushes
Is there anywhere that this is written down? I wanted to send it to my deaf friend but I can't find it written anywhere on the internet :c
