CITY BEES People buy artisanal honey near the rainbow crosswalk. Men are all working on balance inside a gym. I translate a Swedish cookbook that says we should eat for Wellness. If you don't use new vocabulary at least three times, it vanishes. In the Castro, there are few reminders of those lost to AIDS--- a shuttered funeral home, a forgotten legacy slated for condos. Lamp posts plastered with party posters of boys in jockstraps. When I was young, I feared I'd grow up and never be touched. (Christian Gullette)
