Plaid and paisley











We are the intersection
Of so many different things
Stripes and solids
Shapes and irregularities
But nevertheless
In my mind at least
It works
Some kind of intricate pattern
No one could really have planned
But somehow comes together
As though a greater hand
Formed us
So that one without the other
Would be incomplete
Sometimes we clash
But always,
When a broader perspective is gained
End up wearable

My brothers are necessary. Every disappointment in romance, every disillusionment with gender roles, every rant on the feminization of men or society's screwed-up views of masculinity leads me to the comforting thought that somewhere, out there, are four men. Real, blood-and-guts, ballsey men who are brave and beautiful... strong and sensitive... knowledgeable and teachable.

None of us are yet what we will be
But I know that when we are
They will be
Always and forever my standard
For what men should be.

I love you guys. Thanks for being my precious baby boys.

Hey but think how far we've come... and I don't do that to him in public. Usually. Okay sometimes. But I know it embarasses him. *evil laugh*
