The Incongruent

My body makes paths through the physical world, just as you do,
Although I have been, on occasion, sorely tempted to refuse.
To do otherwise would be impractical, and likely rude,
But all the time I wonder why I'm wearing this stupid man-suit,
Which I cannot help noticing is only a disguise
Designed by someone else to suit another species' eyes.
At times it is a vehicle. At times, it is a lie.
It would surely be easiest to dismiss me as a cotard,
But to say what it is I truly am, even for me, is hard.
