A Life Time of Secrets
I have heard some strange things about you of late Michael and thinking about it all now I am beginning to understand, That there is so much more to you than this poetic madness that you hide behind , And wear like camouflage to keep the dogs of curiosity at bay when you speak in code about such things as tenderness and love . I think someone must have told you that going to war in Vietnam would make a man of you .That you could avoid being an outcast of the islands because of who you where and still are.I am only guessing mind you but I'll bet Marylou knew about your struggle the whole time and you waited this long long while because you loved her so and she loved you as well. Now that she's gone, and the grand children are happy for you ,I want you to know that I am on board as well.Thalia that's a perfect name for you The Greek muse of pastoral poetry.Your what 67and starting a brand new life as a woman; What can I say about that but Rock On Baby!Rock On!
