Barry was in the Greenwich House
seniors writing class. We’ve been meeting
on Zoom since the pandemic. In hospice
the week before, still he came
to class on zoom. We all loved Barry.
He regaled us with rabbinic advice,
and amazing stories of his wild sex life.
He spared no details. Later he married
a man named Joe They sat next to one
another at a bar in the Village and that
was that. He was faithful to Joe.
They adopted five sons.
In honor or Barry our class had lunch,
discussed free love and various
exploits. Barry would have liked listening.
Maybe he did.
Great entry!
Wonderful
