the tenderness here
must remain here
only for the two of us
to enjoy to cherish
for the sight of it
in the open air
in a public space
would sully it
would turn it into performance
it would cease to be sacred
it would be an assault
on common decency
for two men
to hold hands in public
for them to kiss
