Twenty-five years ago

I met an agnostic atheist

Tattoo free twenty-seven-year-old

His Fairfax apartment

Dribbled with art

Congested with electronic indie dance

Brian transformed my hair

Through Mr. Lee

Jacobs sent me on a journey

To Vienna to meet the Maharishi

He trekked with on

El Camino de Santiago

I spoke to this rock star teacher’s

Gifted students about coming out

Brian collects degrees and awards

In buckets of love

And Brian bathes us

With poetry smarts
