--- Quote from: Shakestheground on October 13, 2007, 09:39:24 am ---In honor of the 10th Anniversary of the publication of Brokeback Mountain as a short story in the New Yorker, a few thoughts for the one we will never know:

Satuday night, press your best shirt,
Unknown man,
Get yourself down to
The Mint Bar,
Slick back your hair and take your place,
In history,
In the hearts and minds of millions,
In the noise and music of the evening,
Turn your gaze once again
To the pool table and remember,
You never know who may be watching.

Carefully you have lived your days,
Amongst those who you counted on,
To ignore, to overlook you, and allow you,
Your glances, your kindnesses,
Indulge you with a kind of acceptance,
That comes with a shut mouth,
And clandestine eyes.
It took a stranger, a woman no less,
To see what they didn't,
And read in your eyes the whole story,
Come rushing at her,
And six months to sort it out.

So it is Saturday night, Friend,
Stomp your boots full on and
Meet me down there, let me
Raise a glass with you,
Tell me, about the price of hay,
Tell me your aches and pains,
Your ten years older now.
And a celebrity.
If you want to,
I will tell you all about it.

Thanks, Milo and Truman.  :)

Wow...... that Milo is something else.  I love him !!!

That reminds of of what Scott in Austin said to me at breakfast here last month.
I was telling him I still didn't understand why or how BBM effected me the way it did.
Why it effected us and not others.  He said he believes it was on a spirutual level
with us.  Simply a spiritual thing.  I believe he was right.  I don't question it any more.

It just occurred to me that the song Annie listened to over and over while trying to get the right words for the dozy embrace was called "Spiritual".
