“A planet without AIDS is possible, but to create that planet we must
do away with the vestiges of the old planet where testing positive to
the HIV virus effectively relegates an individual to the subclass of
Human society”

“Redhead

All over the house
Strands of copper hair
Like filaments from a cobweb
Collect.
If you and I
Were ever to part—

For months, perhaps years,
I’d be combing out,
Brushing or picking up
Strands of significance,

Traces of you
In my life”
