Tired of being bored
I decided to go out
One night and see
For myself to check
Out this club called
Why-Not which was
Situated in West Hollywood
I came alone and saw What others had told me
There was a dance floor,
A bar and women all around
In the backroom there was colored
Lights, loungers and sofas too
A few women were talking,
Laughing and being intimate
Back at the bar I ordered
A Jack on the rocks. ..
I was watching some women
Dance when a tap on my shoulder
Broke my concentration. ..
I turned and saw this petite
Woman who asked me to dance
While we were dancing we started
To kiss and then she asked me
About the backroom and wanted to know if
I would join her and I had to say
No, but you can come to my place
It is quiet and cozy and no voyeurs allowed
Martin Powers wanted an ironing board for Christmas. Instead, he got . . . Matthew Kieler, a non-returnable gift, but a gift that kept on giving. A powerful tale of survival, compassion and unapologetic love in the time of AIDS.
