Uncertain attractions
Youth-induced aesthetic desires
Playground of delusions
							---9 September 1997---
Furtive glances stolen
From boys who look the other way
Childhood highway robbers

Congratulatory jeers
Celebrate self-discovery
Humiliating victory

Derision divides me
Fear permeates my existence
Secret are my longings

Suspicions abound
Hateful epitaphs slice through me
My chain mail weak-linked lies

Crushed velvet blackness 
Cloaks blanched remains skeletally bound
Closets are for freaks
