THE TWINS

the twins -- i could tell them apart then
they were older -- and handsome
i believed them a friend
they used me -- didn't abuse me -- not much
they just liked to touch and kiss
i let them -- but i got no pleasure from this
i was young -- lonely -- and shy
remembering back -- as i sometimes do
i ask myself why -- why do boys brag and boast
it only meant i liked them most
i thought they were special the matching book ends
now i can't tell them a part
they were never my friends
so you ask -- why tell
it's over and done
if you spit on dirt
it only makes mud
because i want it out of my head
so it can be buried without dread
hey -- if you don't want to know
don't read any more.

NOTICE BOARD

Hi SPT readers. I haven't posted anything new in several months. I don't want to post about political issues so until I'm inspired with something new or finish a story ....

Feel free to post comments about something you have read at SPT because I do like hearing from my readers even if it is just a hello. I don't put up my email address because I already get mail from people trying to sell me Viagra which goes straight to the Junk box. :) I do receive notification when someone has made a comment at SPT and I will respond as soon as I can. Thank you for visiting. -S

The Agenda-Civil Rights

Support for the LGBT Community: While we have come a long way since the Stonewall riots in 1969, we still have a lot of work to do. Too often, the issue of LGBT rights is exploited by those seeking to divide us. But at its core, this issue is about who we are as Americans. It's about whether this nation is going to live up to its founding promise of equality by treating all its citizens with dignity and respect. Federal law should not discriminate in any way against gay and lesbian couples. ... young & old, rich & poor, democrat & republican, black white hispanic asian native american gay straight disable and not disable ... we are and always will be the United States of America. --Barack Obama, (More)
