:21:11
It became evident from
a very early age...
:21:14
that i was somehow different.
:21:33
I, myself...
:21:34
slowly began to realize
that my play
:21:37
was not like that
of the other boys.
:21:41
By the time l was 10,
the attraction females had for me
:21:45
was concerning my mother.
:21:48
She presented me to God...
:21:50
to save me before it was too late.
:21:53
Apparently...
:21:55
it was too late.
:22:01
The lessons i learned in church
were not without value.
:22:06
By the time i was 12,
:22:08
I understood the obligation
the Lord spoke of
:22:11
to share one's blessings
with those less fortunate.
:22:35
One night...
:22:36
I watched Doña Querida
at the window in her slip.
:22:40
I noticed how
a woman's underclothing
:22:43
barely touches her skin...
:22:47
how it rides
on a cushion of air...
:22:50
how the silk floats about
her body, brushing her flesh...
:22:53
like an angel's wings...
:22:56
and i understood how a woman
must be touched.
