I never did think about it
that I would or could be
til webster and I explored
the nature of it all

I chuckled at first
a bit shy to be exposed
then said what the hell
and jumped from the closet

of subtle grins
to brazen public demonstrations
and everyone turned to see
then just shook their heads

some others were too, and came closer
seemed we had a connection now
but our rowdy secluded us
from the proper whisper crowd

I was beaming loud proudly
when I returned to my friend
and webby and I explored it more
discovering momentary identity

just in time to find I wasn't

I wish everyone could be
right now
those who are
but mostly those that are not)

It's a fine line that we all walk...
in several areas, including this.

Well done, Sir.

fear not the ponderings of life...for within self are the answers, silently awaiting the essense of faith, hope, sincerity and truth...fidelity to self is the one magical moment....

Ahhh...So that's why the dissolute indulgence in sensual pleasure makes us cheerful and merry.

Food for thought.  


Especially if's chocolate.. or strawberries and whipped cream... or... maybe it's sashimi and a pair of chopsticks...

With a passionate appetite such as yours, it is no wonder that you might desire sampling other dishes to find out whether you would like them or not!

Then again - it could be expermentation with old fashioned gaiety - jocularity jocularity-messing around with Webster and perhaps his kind sibling the Thesaurus?  

Just had to add a different take - discovering gay- discovering fun and joy
