Page 1 of a typed poem titled getting gay<br /><br />
<br /><br />
unlike coming out -- <br /><br />
a political stance<br /><br />
zeroes in<br /><br />
on the totally personal <br /><br />
part<br /><br />
being a self acknowledgement<br /><br />
of one's gayness<br /><br />
getting gay <br /><br />
a self acceptance<br /><br />
acceptance of self<br /><br />
a getting ones self<br /><br />
together on another level <br /><br />
of consciousness<br /><br />
<br /><br />
a level of consciousness <br /><br />
--a gate to expansion<br /><br />
each time i've reached<br /><br />
a new level<br /><br />
it caused total<br /><br />
re-examination of my past<br /><br />
in the light of this new level<br /><br />
<br /><br />
just as getting gay is<br /><br />
a swinging in closer to the personal<br /><br />
--another different closer to self<br /><br />
level of the coming out process
