How was your first day of school, David?

It was good, Momma. It was good.

I fell in love today, Momma.

I fell in love with a boy today, a boy who seems more like a god. He calls himself Jack, though all the attendance sheets list him as Francis. A good name, Francis, but you don't tell him that. He's hurting underneath, like you taught me how to look for. I like it, though. It makes him something more. Should I not say that?

He's gorgeous, Momma. The most gorgeous boy I've ever seen.

He's also very, very straight.
