Confusing DILF picture adds layer of lust to bruising filth mixture; betrayer of trust who back in the past when present was future, through lack of the ask cast gent as abuser.
*
Doctored exuberance from strangest of men.
I was awkward pubescence and patience by then.
My doctor was present which deftly he used.
Doctor was pleasant which left me confused.
More than one patient; Jason inside me.
More than one statement was latent inside me.
And doctor was plural; what’s quizzically true is that doctor was neural but physical too.
More than one practice. More than one patient. More than one mattress. More than one Jason.
Deranged dereliction of duty imbued with strange contradictions that strangely are true.
Innocent action or wholly obscene?
Fact that this fraction unholy was clean.
With no penetration in sterile space.
And no abdication of crime or disgrace.
With no policed questions the proctors undress me.
Priests at confessions; the doctors molest me.
Doctors are judged through initial neurology.
The awkward begrudged judicial apology.

And DILF in the picture looks back from the past and I am not injured but was I the last?
There at night, in the illumination of contrasting partnership norms, be it the seemingly liberated, “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” policies of sadly beautiful Palm Springs marriage, or sexless lesbian bed victims who either choose to deny their ghostly existence or claw their way back toward sensation…
There in the power bottom afterglow of newly confirmed relational status and haunted by parallel love lives which will echo and color the weeks that follow… leaving overstimulated, near madness, hyper inspired unanswered inquiries and nearly celibate nightmares…
There under the weight of all that came before is where we must truly define ourselves as WE – as I reverate all possibilities and all combinations.
Holding him up, bare chested, helping him piss with as much dignity as we could manage in his drunken confessional state…
“Is that guy really your type?”
His dream was an unsuspected plot twist which he felt had ruined his character; an angry embarrassing accusation which left me flattered, confused and deeply protective.
His dream inspired a jealousy that I couldn’t have fathomed.
He never told me the details and I never asked.
This early stumble, an unexpected crucible which allowed for nothing less than hot hard facts inspired by revelatory dreams which haunted us both.
My ego suggests his version of the truth might have been why he drank to such excess that night… but who am I kidding?
That’s what alcoholics do.
And yet his light of day honesty united us more than any nighttime weaknesses could have shattered us… transforming anger into respect, confusion into admiration… and an unexplored threatening lust into the building blocks of a friendship long shadowed by an insistent innocent eroticism.
From January 1994 until September 2012 I used to go dancing once or twice a week.
Well, there was about a year in there that I didn’t go as often.
I was in a relationship and I felt like going dancing was like stepping out… because the way I danced usually led to men dancing with me.
Later, I realized that dancing gave me joy, and I resumed my weekly routine.
But in the last 6.5 years I’ve only danced a handful of times.
The change happened when I moved to New York.
My mode of transportation changed from private to public… and getting around all dolled up became a slightly more frightening experience.
In 4 months I’ll be 45 years old and maybe 45 year olds don’t go dancing anymore.
People always tell me I look younger, and usually I feel younger too… but lately I’ve been feeling old.
Death has taken far too many friends and idols in the last several years for me to pretend that the time I have left won’t just continue to dwindle.
I tell myself I can decide to change. To change back.
But I remind myself that I need to be out tomorrow and Monday and I should take things slowly.
And I know that I’ve somehow gotten old, or at least that my thinking has changed over time, that I think in responsible bursts before everything blurs and diminishes… fading away into dust.
