Dirty Old Man

Dirty Old Man

I wrote this many, many years ago. I still feel stupid for having been so naive. I stay away from friendships with the opposite sex now. Unless one of you is gay, I do not think such friendships are possible (p.s. I apologize to my Christian friends for the foul word. I tried, and I simply cannot find a better word than the one I have used here…)

How Are You?

You ask me how I am

And then glance past my shoulder,

Already anxious

To continue your errands.
