Your powerfully erotic presence with me in the car reminded me that
I did not dream only the wished for transition---Starwatcher trampling
down the burdens of "Fairy Jerry." "What are you doing," you asked,
arriving; "Watching stars come out," I said, "starwatching." We stared at
each other. I said, "That is it, isn't it?" Burdens (from as far back as
February third, nineteen sixty-nine---first imposed by the Dorment Brothers,
Hindley and Rindley) palpably fell away when you replied, "Yes, I think it
is," the only necessary validation. Now, at the drive-in theater, our nights'
pattern began to set: you took off your shoes and tossed them to the back
floorboard, and the tattered cuffs of your baggy, distressed jeans nearly
concealed your midnight blue socks, but did not interfere with their very
erotic fragrance. You also unbuttoned your shirt and untucked it, your
bare torso teasingly covered by your nearly waist-length black hair.
