F. Douglas Brown: Make Out Sonnet

 The first time I saw two men kissing, I was six,

Living in 1970s LA. My mom took care

Of an elderly woman who found herself in a fix

And moved into a complex of all men, bare

Chested men, with cutoff jeans and tinted glasses.

My mother's friend gave me chocolates that matched

Her skin-this must be heaven. These sons' asses

Peeked out beneath their shorts, but watched

Over her better than mom. Took donations for heat,

A sofa and a new wig-all changed her mood.

They even did her laundry. They did sweet

Better than honey. Did family better than blood.

And between duties, two men always off alone

So desire, like the dishes, could also get done.
