a boy i care a great deal about has become a grown-up and i am rather proud. you wouldn't notice on the outside, but on the inside there are architectural structures, drying concrete, blueprints written in that careful drafting hand. he is sturdy and well-planned, his foundation reliable, and i like to think that perhaps among all those beams and rafters and enforcements and construction agreements there is an unremarkable yet soundly crafted wall bearing a small oil painting of me, maybe smiling in that beatific way one gets when thinking about past loves and youth and ice skating in san francisco.
