@ 27.055 MHz: Ad Astra; June 17th, 1775 [Repost]

Bunker Hill:  in the lull before the engagement, a

lovely lad with luxuriously long hair (cascades of

soft curls in profusions) thinks of his boyfriend and

their tender romance back in Boston; and wonders

about the new society now struggling to be born; 

but takes a hunk of King George's lead through the

chambers of his delicate heart before he could

express the question to himself:  would boys like

him, who shared this same nature and need for

love, be welcome among the victorious patriots?

Author's Notes/Comments: 

Due to my incompetence at proof-reading, the first posted version of this poem presented the year date as 1975.  I was so ashamed that I took it down and respoted it here, with the correct date affixed as it should have been originally.
