@ 27.055 MHz: Ad Astra; Words I Wish I Had Said To Tommy, Who Seduced Me (Summer, 1971, After Seventh Grade)
What does it matter that we are both male?
What Love has given us both to feel
toward each other is the foremost real
fact that we cannot ignore and cannot fail.
Old prudes and haters may very well refuse
to acknowledge this while imposing verbal abuse
on us. But when you slip off your shoes,
and then, as in a seductive dance, your shirt,
your Beauty stops Time: calendars and clocks
defer to you. And, through your sheer blue socks,
I offer my kisses in more than just a flirt.
This small farm village that wholly surrounds
finds ways to insult us, and our Love abounds
the more, and bears for us even greater appeal.
