fantasy
you listened to “Flesh For Fantasy”
I played Fantasy Wargaming
you rode dirt bikes
I listened to 70s prog rock
you seemed impossibly cool
a rebellious teen in a milquetoast town
now I know more about what it took
for you to be who you were
& what it cost
to be who you weren’t
I’ve always loved you
& respected your honesty
even though I’ve let years pass
without a word
Ani told us not to close our eyes
thanks for helping to open mine
