Hi, my name is Fagit.
It's not my real name,
just a nick one that stuck
when I was young.

No matter where I was,
all that was shouted
was my name,
like I was famous!

Soon, everybody knew
my nick too.

Grandpa, Dad,
brothers, sisters,
kids, teachers,
Football players, cowgirls,
Homemakers, clerks,
Waitresses, cops,
Co-workers, my boss,
Ex-girlfriends,
Poets, mathematicians,
Hematologists,
Boys, girls,
Men, women,
Bullies and thugs,
even little old Grandmas.

I'm not as famous
as I used to be.
Now I'm tall, handsome
worked out, mean and tough-

'Cause

that's what other
nicked fagit's like,
not those fucking
sissies from school.
