April 1989 - page 4

1.
On the way walking
talking and laughing
at the contentment
we felt knowing that
it would just be brief.

2.
a couple of us left
outspoken yet
otherwise silent,
leaving because of
rumors years ago
branding us bad
instead of different.

3.
tonight was a long time coming
but when it finally did arrive
it was worth every second of
the passion we gave each other.

4.
they tease each other
struggling with an
identity that goes
beyond what they have
now and into a complex
psychological maze
of hidden feelings,
suppressed anger and
parental guilt...  they
tease unaware of the
bad vibes stirred up.
\
5.
they were cleared of all the charges
except those they filed against
each other to stop living alone.

6.
preserve our memories
as something of wonder
of which we can be aware
when we have passed seventy.

7.
it was in the park were we had
all his work...
walking and talking and reading
poetry he had written,
it was always his choice to fulfill
this fantasy.

8.
she was at the counter
beside him once again
asking if he liked
breasts of chicken...  he
said he never cared
too much for poultry.

9.
it was temporary
thing about him,
it would pass
in time...  but...
she would not let
herself forget him

10.
he chose partners with
whom he could never have a
future life at all.
