beneath the surface where we could not see one another through that reflective prismatic membrane… down beneath waves in an ocean of time.
Our meeting was not the frothy crash one might expect between two long separate bodies; more a subtle swallowing
of pride, an exceptional chance encounter between worlds, between men, emptied and refilled and accepted – we drank each other down.
you are my sustenance
you have long nourished my soul in a calming deluge of possibility, a commingling of creation and interpretation – your intoxicating mixture of unspeakable talent with benevolent decency, such rare treasure
is my honor and privilege to behold and to bathe in, to witness all that lies beneath
all that others seldom see.
How could anyone observe such strength and such frailty, such passion –
Who could spy such longing and not find themselves quickened?
Such stimulation can rob mortal men of decisional capacity.
I had no choice but to love you, you see…
And yet I find that I decided all the same.
I chose to embrace the experience of you, to appreciate it for what it was and what you were, I opted to be vulnerable and to be strong, and then finally I agreed to follow that untrodden path wherever it might lead.
You are the decision that has changed my life forever.
You are the choice that I made that I have never regretted.
Bleeding and breathing and moving to accommodate secret meeting of strangers who are smart enough to avoid hospital television ramblings I block out with Endgame trailer music.
I’ve never seen an experienced barista struggle so much with what was right in front of them – – the instructions are right there on the side of the SHORT cup but she removes them to apply them to a TALL before being told politely that it’s meant to be short – as she then awkwardly corrects that bizarre error and then proceeds to get everything else wrong – which I will not allow.
I paid $4.00 for that so please fill it to the top like I asked.
Thank you so much!
Waiting room madness continues as we’re all pressed into service for mysterious summons whose purpose, when inquired is refused by staff who ask that we cease to congregate near the windows…
What are they hiding from us?
Not long before two police arrive, and then two more… and then Anna asks me into her office so we miss the exciting conclusion.
With procedural horror drama behind us we fall into productive discussions of PTSD, hot urologists, respectful penis inspectors, family dinners and reinforcement – positive vs. negative – bleeding and breathing and moving to accommodate my future integration.
When I reach the ground floor lobby, the fantastic woman named after an ancient female vampire asks me for my details and we witness man being seen to by a horde of police men surrounding an ambulance.
Strike the match. Strike that. Strike up the band and burn us to the ground.
Listen to nothing. Listen to no one.
The deaf, moved by deepest vibrations, rise up to meet us betwixt silence and cacophony; teaching us how to feel and interpret the words they can’t hear but feel with a depth which we sometimes lack.
We are blind and struggle – reaching out to recognize the face of reality – the face of the universe – inverse infinity – infinite perversions of intended design.
Revelation yearned for is as momentous as imagined… if only for moments which we believe were imaginary.
The boredom of youth relieved by seduction – no love or lust; just blissful destruction – just practice; no hardship; no need for regret – just beautiful lips of boys he’ll forget.
Beautiful boys together in boredom – the time of their lives in self enslaved whoredom – beautiful boys who’ll one day be men – who dreamed they were toys when they would be again.
