was a hunk. Wally thought, He can wave that thing anywhere he pleases, and I hope he does.
    Wally came out of his momentary daydream as another correctional officer called his name and motioned for him to follow down a narrow hall to room number 44.   The visitation room was barely wide enough for two chairs.  Tony was sitting on the other side of thick glass.  He looked good–goatee trimmed, hair cut short.  The orange jail uniform brought out the best in his complexion.  Tony smiled at Wally.  After the doors on each side were shut, Tony sighed, “I wish I could grab you and hug you and give you a kiss.  Oh, how I miss that.”
    Wally nodded in reply.  He was about to cry.
     
    “Don’t get teary-eyed on me, Wally.  You’re supposed to be the strong one.  I need you.”  Then, with a playful chuckle, the way Tony always warmed up to people, he said, “If you think this orange uniform is ugly, you should see the underwear they make us wear.  It’s green–green like the hulk on TV–green like the jolly giant on cans of vegetables. Ugly green!  Wait, let me see if they are looking.  I’ll show you.”  Tony turned to see if any of the jail staff were staring through the glass in the door behind him.  They were not.   He stood.  Tony pulled up on the hem of his orange shirt, and pulled down on the elastic waist of his slacks, to let Wally see a few inches of the green underwear.  “Ain’t it ugly?  On top of that, it’s briefs.  You know I like boxers.  I like to let things hang free as I walk.”  Tony stopped the peep show and sat down.
    Wally grinned at Tony.  “I wish you could show me everything that’s green and even what’s inside the green.
    “Aw, Wally.  Don’t do that to me now.   But, don’t give up on me, either.  It will happen again.  I’ll give you a show you won’t soon forget, once I get out of here.  First I’m gonna kiss you till you’re gasping for air.  You’ll think you’re with a wild man–one that loves you so much he can’t even find the words to tell you.  Oh my Lord, Wally.  I wish I could burst right through this glass and make out with you.  I love you so much.”
    “I love you, too, Tony.”  Wally almost choked on those words, but he managed to stay calm.  “Next time you get in a situation where you could be breaking the law, you need to remember the folks who love you– your mother, your daughter, me.  We don’t want to see you get messed up.”
    “Yeah, I know I need to be more careful.  I’m going to straighten up.  I’ve already got a job offer at a motorcycle place in Brockton.  I think they will still hire me.”  Tony paused a moment.  Then he went on, “Would you let me stay with you for a couple of weeks when I get out?  You know, until I get a paycheck.  I’ll try not to be too much of a burden.”
    “I think that would be great.  I was going to suggest it, but I was afraid you might say no.  I’ve got that extra room with the daybed.  I can empty up some drawers and thin out the stuff in the closet.  It will be your room.  I would love to have you around.”
    Tony took a deep breath, then smiled.  “If I stay with you, I want to sleep in the same bed with you.  Do you understand?”
    Wally closed his eyes.  When he opened them, he spoke with a whisper, “I would love it, absolutely love it.  Do you reckon either of us will get much sleep?”
    Tony chuckled.  “Sleep!  Are you crazy?  I just want to be alone with you!  We’ll sleep when we finally wear each other out.  Man!  It will be so special.  Just us two.”  He continued, “I told my mom I would likely be staying in Poplar Hill.  But, she doesn’t know I’m going to be staying with you.  Not yet.”
    “Are you going to tell her?”
    “Probably not.  She thinks you are corrupting me.  You know, making me turn gay.  She doesn’t know that I’m in love with you.”
    For a while, Wally and Tony sat staring at each
