"Misha visited mummified Lenin's Tomb
"in Red Square. Standing on the public access level,
"he spit on the floor (unnoticed, one might presume)
"to express his contempt for that red devil.
"Attracted by Misha's distinct, biracial, and Homosexual beauty,
"that guard most adjacent likely disobeyed his demanding duty.
"Empathetic desire was permitted to prevail
"as he might have imagined intimacy with Misha, male to male."

Author's Notes/Comments:
Misha was then an exchange student, who had resided in Russia from birth, until he came to the United States during the late summer of his thirteenth year. He was the son of a member of the Liberian diplomatic staff and a Russian research librarian. His dark complexion and accent (reflecting his native residence) particularly enraged the haters. The epithet 'commie fag,' or 'pinko homo' was heard a few times, until he loosened the teeth of the school's chief bully.
Lenin is herein called a "red devil," as Misha, a communicant of the Russian Orthodox Church, would have recognized this aspect of dead Lenin's legacy.
Because this account was given me by Misha's (American) high school boyfriend, it is enclosed in quotation marks.
