A NOTE FROM THE AUTHOR

The man behind the poem.

This poem was written while, or shortly after, dating one of my first boyfriends. He became, and has remained, a very close friend of mine. The cartoonified photos below are pics of us together in the last ~5 years (long after we tore one another to shreds).
