No matter what timeline we visit,
we are always parted at some point:
parental interference, assassination,
assignment to a labor camp, or to
schools of reheterosexualization.
That sort of prejudice is so insidious
that it infects every timeline we examine:
insisting that two adolescent boys
are not permitted to be lovers. From
point to point, detials and methods differ
but the effect is always the same. Then
I realized: in our travel between the
various timelines, and in the
interchronolocial space and time
through which we travel, we are
together without interruption or
intrusion, or demanded explanation;
neither haters nor prudes present to
threaten us with punishments---incarceration,
execution, or the most statistically prevalent
solution, described as torture until the life
force is extinguished, as the statute books
repeatedly present it. These worlds and
their petty permutations of intolerance are the
interruptions to our relationship; they are
destinies, but not destination. The real
sanctuary and shelter for Love---such as
we experience it---is this massive and
powerful vessel; together with the
Golemicals that protect us and the
countless picobots that serve us. Outside
our observation deck, or the translucent
canopy above our bed, stars, planets, and
nebulae swirl into the infinitely changing
spectra of the cosmic kaloseidosskopia, more
beautiful and enlivening than than the
worlds that we have witnessed and abandoned
could ever appreciatve even in part.
