@ 27.055 MHz: Ad Astra; Of Tommy, Who Taught Me *So* Very Much, During The Summers Of 1971 And 1972

After I discovered, when he was almost naked,

how seductively beautiful he was with just his socks

unremoved (anticipating love), I felt like an astronomer

sighting a new star, or designers of calendars and clocks;

or master builders, marking ashlars that were once unshaped rocks.



Starward-Led

Author's Notes/Comments: 

Tommy was only nine days older than me.  We shared an awkward, but happy, intimacy, and also had fierces crushes on David Cassidy (especially when depicted in "teen" magazines barefoot).


Tommy's flaunting of his socks, always shoeless, to communicate his desires was so very skillfully seductive.  Only BlueShift was more seductive that way.
