Watch Out Thee is no way that I am going to say no She is him or in the oppisite This person, this tranvestite Is so ingageing so good That I say OK to go along O we are two flirting through the dark we go We are good there Not danceing to be safe A second in and out of the alley We twirled a quarter spin Then the he of she And the other way around Shucked me as a farmboy

Watch Out turns flirtation in the dark into a playful but destabilizing encounter with gender inversion, alley movement, and farmboy shock.

The page treats identity as something performed, reversed, and spun through motion rather than fixed in place. Its energy comes from consent and surprise at once: the speaker goes along willingly, then finds himself unsettled by how thoroughly the encounter rearranges expectation. The result is more vivid than moralizing.

Watch Out is the dance scene that admits attraction across he and she, with the tranvestite as the ingageing partner and the speaker yielding in the alley. The preserved misspellings (tranvestite, ingageing, daneing, arou d) keep the page from smoothing the encounter into literary fluency.
