A LONG GAY BOOK




When they are very little just only a baby you can never tell which
one is to be a lady.

There are some when they feel it inside them that it has been with them
that there was once so very little of them, that they were a baby,
helpless and no conscious feeling in them, that they knew nothing then
when they were kissed and dandled and fixed by others who knew them when
they could know nothing inside them or around them, some get from all
this that once surely happened to them to that which was then every bit
that was then them, there are some when they feel it later inside them
that they were such once and that was all that there was then of them,
there are some who have from such a knowing an uncertain curious kind of
feeling in them that their having been so little once and knowing
nothing makes it all a broken world for them that they have inside them,
kills for them the everlasting feeling; and they spend their life in
many ways, and always they are trying to make for themselves a new
everlasting feeling.

One way perhaps of winning is to make a little one to come through them,
little like the baby that once was all them and lost them their
everlasting feeling. Some can win from just the feeling, the little one
need not come, to give it to them.
