Replying to a comment on:

Ad patres el prostitute (Free verse) by <{Baba^Yaga}>

At the back door of a church on Sunday. In an alley off of St. Andrews, again. Beating off the cold stink he is waiting. For father to find him a hot viand & coat. Wait son, do not yet close thy eyes. Silently, he eats with both hands faster then it takes the priest to swallow along with him. The staticy air gets more tolerable as both decide to loosen up the other's collar Wait son, do not yet close thy eyes. Underneath a full moon, but still dusking. He notices that brother and sister are sharing the same sky. Just as the fire drowns down into a dark blue expanse of rippless heart-ache. Wait son, do not yet close thy eyes. Hungry again, but too exhausted to search any further then the edge of a playground. Near the beach and his Father's Mission Bells sing to him, tonight he shall have sleep. Now son, you may close your own eyes.

I was snow boarding, just got back. Now, Settle, i do not believe this poem is all that. The poem is just an attempt by me to evolve and just let go of certain mental clutter. It is not about male prostitution literally. The prostitute reaches a point in repetition where he accepts certain facts and just finds solace in that. He is not bitter. It deals with this fact all people have a right to eat and sleep peacefully that is all. Tomorrow i will write one, more specifically designed to meet the criteria of your argument and posture. Okay? One about what you think this one is about but it's not... Then you can whoop it up and hone it down to whatever in the hell your heart desires. geez.
