Rich, Russell Grandma

I came out in 1990. To the desolation. I chanced a few friends in the Long Beach gay center. I knew they would not stick. I had to make do with people I liked but could not love. Did all my friends die before I could see them? I'm loving Michael right now. Lovely sweet Michael. He lives away but I kiss his hand in the mornings. We all die incomplete.

World War II was over in August, 1945 when he was ten years old. He was probably in the Korean Conflict. Things were sure different then.
