Born in Fresno
Brought in in a little cowtown
Became addicted to pornography at 10
Dad molested my sister
Went to Church
Ran track, football, baseball, and basketball
Introduced to homosexuality,
beer, more pornography, cocaine,
"grass", molested a girl,
in my Bible Study Group.
I was the leader of the Bible Study Group.
She still wanted to be my girlfriend.
Christianity made me guilty, and depressed.
Cheated in French, and math.
Went to a private college,
hated it.
Went to Fresno State for my teaching credential.
Couldn't smoked, smoked,
Couldn't dance, didn't,
Couldn't drink, on campus, drank.
Married at 27.
Virgin 'til I dated my future wife,
began teaching, tough 25 years,
three kids,
only 8 years to go.
I've been let go, fired, or quit
almost every job I've had.
Though I've worked at my present location
for over twenty years, take one year
teaching in King City.
I'm looking forward to retirement,
when I can volunteer at a local history park,
and work with the Amtrack, talking to
the riders and tell them about local history.
And wish I could have a cat,
which my wife won't let me have.
