MAN & HIS WORLD © 2007 by Rob Labelle (art by Rick Trembles)
SLIDE 14
Like these men, I usually strip down to my underwear & lie in the grass. Today, after having done this, something draws me to one of the other men. It is as if they are like brightly-coloured flowers attracting bees or insects such as myself. I touch his iridescent purple bathing suit. I speak, saying "Ça va?" -an echo of my father's public French. With this, he turns away from me. In breaking the silence, I've broken some code, some unwritten rule.
