RAINBOW FLAG

Rainbow flag,

White PACE,

On grey sky.

Freeway overpass;

Me + my older, male professor friend.

"Ain't that the faggot flag?" I

Assume many oftha dark cars

Crawling under wonder;

Forward-looking headbeams.

"Here comes Barbara," I say;

Relief; support.

Turnsoutta small Asian-

American ladyinna

Big, blue parka, hood up.

She thanked us.
