Roger ran a way
Copyright 1992, Rendo
Roger needs a man.
He's got one in mind.
There were women
in the past,
Before he split in two.
Now he shakes,
With the excitement of the chase;
While all of time,
Hoping to get caught.
" What is it you really want? "
I asked.
(His blue eyes again
Rested upon my crotch. )
He was lost in thought
Chasing his answer
Between mind
And mouth.
(In any case,
Roger ran away!)
He needs to please society
A bit longer . . .
Live the straight life . . .
Make everyone happy . . .
Everyone�
Except, Roger.
Part II
Roger returns
It was an odd looking car,
that pulled up onto my driveway;
until Roger jumped out of it.
At first,
I didn't recognize him.
With his new " perm ",
making all of his curls
position themselves,
" just so ".
in any case ,
casual greetings were exchanged
and I invited him inside,
for gossip.
During his two-year absence,
he found his gayness.
(although, the closet does keep it hidden away at times)
He had become a nurse
and was looking for someone
to examine.
I put him off ,
with monogamous chatter:
of devotion,
and steadfast love.
Honesty is vital between lovers.
This all frightened him
and he left.
I've often wondered where he went,
to find his sexuality
and some truth.
