Coming Out Fantasy For My Parents #129
When my parents visit, I tell them.
They say,
“Ok,” and
“Be safe,”
and we keep watching reruns on TV.
Coming Out Fantasy For My Friends #247
Over dinner on New Year’s Eve I tell my old friends.
They tell me they are too.
We order dessert and savor it,
argue over who will pick up the check,
agree to split it evenly.
