Male Friendship
Men who are open with themselves
about who they are.
Not leaving one detail out.
Not hiding under a face of
fear or aggression.
Able to give as much love
to their male friends as
their wives and girlfriends
Being an intellectual
companion
These are things I wish men my age
would have
Why does it seem that what I ask for
are in statues of the
Renaissance sculptors.
Which are the slim,
androgynous David
keeper of the flocks?
Then I heard the voice
of my fiancees coworker Alex
say don't forget about me!

Poetry is important to my life because it gives me a way of saying things I never imagined were in me. My poems deal with all kinds of subjects, my attitude on today's culture, art, corporations, nature, etc. But these aren't the only things that I write about in my poetry. I don't have a favorite poet, but probably Michael McClure is the poet I have learned the most from, from his readings on YouTube.
