1980's edited version
Bottom referee's
Position, feet slid
Away, right hand grabbed
Opponent's right hand.
Hand pulled off waist, hips
Pivoted right, right
Shoulder raised, right arm,
Elbow, under chin.
Left hand, left knee, pressed
To mat, revolved right,
Seated position,
Both feet flat on mat.
Terry, curious
About who was in
Rooms, wrapped his towel, locked
His door, walked the halls.
Followed men, mimicked
How they paused outside
Doors, hands fondling towels,
Blank, appraising, stares.
Opportunity
Missed when door closed on
Unseen occupant
By barely seen man.
Thomas brought Robert
To favorite bar,
Former speakeasy,
Famous hung on walls.
Average age at
Thirty+- no twinks-
Except street hustlers-
Owner's acolytes.
Scarce competition
Focused attention
On each other, and
Beds' proximities.
Hudson Hotel Health
Club basement, vintage
Facilities strained
By members decline.
Shower fixture pipes
Detached from tiles, walls,
Autographed, Broadway
Stars, stained memories.
Blond male, sapphire
Speedo, swam his laps
Along Grecian scenes,
Pool mosaic tiles.
