"Best Thing I Ever Did"
Danny's Announcement:

i prefer all my clothes to have crotches
And pockets and collars
i try to stand just right in my 501's
And try to affect cool disinterest
Even if leaning against my wallet just threw my back out
i shine my Doc Martens and wear them with everything
People sometimes call me "Sir" on the phone
And in person
And i walk with more bounce than my mother would prefer
And i never have a bad hair day
Just bad haircuts

i rise when a Lady stands to do whatever it is that Ladies spend hours in the bathroom doing
i hold doors for everyone
Even the perplexed-looking guys
i feel alone more than i would like to
And smoke more than i should
i don't dance very well
But i'm great at pool
And a couple of silly bar tricks that make everyone laugh

i'm a musician, an artist, and a computer genius
And a Pisces and a sydeco music fan and a long-walks-beanth-the-stars type
And i will never admit that i do this just to meet Women
i stand apart from the crowd, usually on the crowd's own volition
i do what feels right and good for me
And i don't give a good goddamn how uncomfortable that makes anyone
Because i feel
                                                          i just feel
And that's a great thing to know how to do
If you never learned before
When i'm sad, i cry
When i'm happy, i laugh
When i'm scared, i fight back
And when i'm with the Woman i love,
She places Her happiness into my hands
And offers Her tenderest parts into my mouth
And feel Her blossom into my empty places

Complete, She lets me gude Her to the screaming edge
Where We are happy to remain

i am her boitoy
Not her Man
And She wants me that way
i may be my own woman
But
i'm Her butch
