"I could not reject Misha's long dreads and dark
"complexion! That bare torso attracted me,
"and the baggy jeans, and midnight blue socks that
"shoes rarely concealed; and how I felt when his
"strong arms embraced me.
"They believed their hard, prejudiced words could wrest
"Misha from me---scrawny awkward white bookworm;
"whom he---more gorgeously beautiful than most
"people can imagine---had chosen; his class
"ring on my finger.
"Did I study that year? Yes: how to keep the
"fragrance and flavor of his naked flesh in
"my nostrils and mouth, with the taste of his mouth;
"and to savor Misha's glistening sweetstuff,
"released to my mouth."
