I pray about AIDS last.
Last week, I made a list of all my friends who've died or who are living and infected.
Every day since, I've remembered someone I forgot to list.
This morning, it was Jason Gaver, the performance poet from DC.
I don't know if he's still around.
I liked him.
and could never stand his poetry, which made it difficult to be a friend, though I wanted to defend him one excruciating night at a folio reading where Chasen snapped his fingers and danced around spouting frothy nonsense about Andy Warhol to the rolling eyes of self-important, language-centered poets whose dismissive attitude and ugly manners were worse by far than anything that Chasen ever wrote."
Charles was his real name?
A classmate at Antioch dubbed him Chasen, after the restaurant, I guess.
Once I start remembering, so much comes back.
There are 49 names on my list of the dead, 32 names of the sick.
Cookie Mueller changed lists Saturday.
They all will, I guess.
The living, I mean, unless I go before them, in which case I may be on somebody's list myself.
It's hard to imagine so many people I love dying, but no harder than to comprehend so many already gone.
My beloved Bobby, maniac, and boyfriend.
Barry reminded me that he had sex with Bobby on the coat pile at this Christmas party two years in a row.
That's the way our life together used to be.
A lot of great adventures.
Who'll remember Bobby's stories about driving in his debutante date's father's white Mercedes from hole to hole of the golf course at the poshest country club in Birmingham at 3 a.m.
