@ 27.055 MHz: Ad Astra; High School Romance---The Nerd's Tale

He quarterbacked his way to fulfill my nights' fantasies

when he said, "Shoes don't belong on socks as nice as these!"

Clad in baggy distressed jeans, and his torso bare

beneath the cascade of his long, chestnut-colored hair;

three years a starter on the high school's varsity;

although the clodhopping school board's stated policy

forbid his hair's length and our Homosexuality:

that was the prejudice against us in that vicinity

and time---the early and reactive seventies.


Starward-Led

Author's Notes/Comments: 

In my school district, the "student handbook" demanded certain clothing, including wearing shoes at all times, and forbid Homosexuality among the students---as of 1970 and going forward.
