The Tragedy of the Too-Handsome Man

I strolled around, not muscle-bound, but fit,
Some lucky woman's man, in mirrored shades
And tiny suit, beside the sea and deeply tanned.
A tasteful chain around my neck, a nod for
Those nearby. There should have been
No doubt that I would be the best vacation guy
For any poor, pale matron who had jetted
Down my way. Alas, I heard two of them
Whisper, "Don't be fooled. He's gay."
