| Bohemian Rhapsody As if in my own benediction ceremony, I would lay out all of the Queen albums, flush next to each other, in order of release, on my bedroom floor. The 45s from each album would lay on top of them, in the lower right-hand corner, also in order of release, from bottom to top. I would then stand in front of this, drinking a wine cooler, as if I were Noah in the Ten Commandments movie, congratulating myself, clasping my arms behind my back, as if this was my ark, my own creation; that I had, as if through my sheer accumulation and arrangement of these objects, some part of creating them. Actually, back then, I am sure that I thought I had created them, at least in the form of the configuration I was looking at, and the Bartles & Jaymes tasted sweet going down my throat, and with my room clean and vacuumed, I would lie on my bed, jerking off.

i honestly didn't understand this. What was the point? Sorry, but i just didn't understand.
Awesome. I love Queen. Didn't know about Michael Jackson -- birds of a feather.
i also grew up on queen, (had the vinyl, and saw them live when i was much too young) - i *love* them! and, like the author, queen had a profound effect on my budding sexuality too, so i can relate to the desire of the writer to share that, however, the poems he's written are, i think, too cryptic and full of personal references to be appreciated by other people.
Once again, we find that just cuz y're published and have a list on your resume,it doesn't necessarily mean you can write.
huh?
yeah..try try again...
this should,however, come as an encouraging note to all of those unpublished,yet noteworthy, poets out there...
there's still plenty of room for you,
just maybe not a nerve...
sigh
didn't you mean to say, "not AT nerve", GTA?
Why Yes, Misty, I did. Thank you. Just cause you can write doesn't necessarily mean you can type. But I believe there's hope regardless....
sigh
Now you say something
