uncle phil

your uncle phil
finally comes out
of the closet.
at least he believes
so.
as if no one
ever knew.
as if the bette midler
records
and his gourmet
cook ware
weren't enough
clues.
not to mention
his penchant
for art and decorating,
his trimmed
nails, and hair,
his exquisite
wardrobe
and trips to fire
island.
everyone shrugs
as he introduces
you to lou, his friend,
his very close
friend, who may
take a trip with
him, a cruise
in fact, to
Katmandu.
