HAYSTACK JOHN

Remember, "tact" not "tack."

Hello Haystack John, Smiling star, true trick, sidekick. Don't drink on the job or be lyrical in conflict! "Ob" stands for "objective" "Sub" for "Subjective." Be a real winner.

Good day gray bristly boy. I've made cards out of the lines and dots under the box top of Kellogg's Cornflakes.

If most of the religious zealots would not speak Elizabethan English,

Vodka, punch and cookies. Try to imagine the effort, briefly, if you can.

It's not the musculature but the form.

Some skinny guys can travel at a good clip.

Three nightingales sang on a branch.

The first sang for a place to sleep.

The 2nd sang for a place to stand.

they wouldn't come across flaky. The 3rd sang for food.

"R" stands for "right,”

"L" for "left."

True Grit, nitty-gritty,

Oatmeal and grits.

Be a good sport.

I brought my love 3 fine boxes. In the first was sugar chocolate. In the 2nd was powder and pomade.

In the third were 3 young kisses.

THE GAY LIB BLUES

By John Nosek

Transcended college on a transfer to bread, Master's in one hand, my plans up my sleeve. Slithered down the slide to the AT and T.

Where I swindled an application, and was hired on Toiled for a year before the Man came to say: "We don't like faggots. Get your ass out of here." Took my lover's hand; it was a day so divine.

Straight men harassed us; we had to fight for our pride.

What have I got to show? Two broken ribs and a toothless frown; But man, I was there doing time for a price they never found. Cop snagged my buddy Jim... he's a fem you know." Beat him to an inch of his self-appointed fears;

Stripped him of his assets; threw him in the closet defiled. Poor guy won't come out anymore, a slave to city lava. Psychoanalyst pinned me to a couch

Diagnosing my unresolved Oedipal.

Said, "Boy, women are the only way.

Don't slight society by playing games."

I spit in his ear and slipped out the front door.

| Replied, 'you're the one who needs a solution.

Shit, passing in lies for a neuterless score.'

Kneeled at my priest's feet pleading,

'I'm not a sinner.' He smiled, "Take it easy.

Once you see the light, you will lose this evil demon."

Curled my head and I cried. Doesn't even Jesus care?

All Father Pat could do was bless me misguided martyr.

Now I look at my brothers and sisters, an underground phenomenon.

Leave be me, they sway. I wish to pass..

Pass what?, I ask. An ace of clubs for a queen of diamonds?

A loyal oath for a loaf of head?

Sigh, the struggle persists; with or without...

I look at all of you as you see each other,

One last breath before I go undercover.

What of the pursuit and our schemes?

The changes we had all once foreseen?

My subconscious echoes softly, 'Lilt from this time.

Only deaf ears seem to thrive in seventy-five.'

He is right of course, but that doesn't mean I must live a farce,

For all humanoids must carry their banners,

And mine just may be a surplus of jabber.

One's mind may be euphoric while one's genetalia may be less so. A stranger cannot be expected to recognize immediately one's erogenous areas and modes, nor can he be expected to follow the complex scripts of one's fantasies. Most people can and do master the body-mind contradiction, but other factors undermine casual sex as well. Tension, inspired by the novelty of a new trick or by the mystery of sex itself might create a mental block against arousal or climax. Although it relaxes inhibitions, alcohol slows physical responses by relaxing. the entire nervous system and lowering the level of one's blood sugar.

There is, to be sure, common ground in gay love-making. Kissing caressing, stroking and feeling the body and genitals, plus some fellation, are standard components of sexual love among gay males.

It is not as important to conquer one's inhibitions as to ignore them. Sacking in with another nude male is too glorious a happening to spoil with doubt, worry, panic and related psychological clutter. Gay sex is exclusively for enjoyment. If it evolves into a hassle and a burden, it is not worth cruising for. T..ure is sufficient pathos in life without creating it out of pleasure.
