Beck and Brett love Josh

Beck and Brett love Josh was written into the wet concrete in a driveway to a service station near where I live. It is inscribed with a heart. I look  it nearly every day when I walk to work. There was no date included, which is kind of a shame, as I love things to have dates, to know how much time has passed, to see where it fits into the scheme of the world, to visualise them. 

I always think about Beck and Brett and Josh as I walk passed. Was this a thought out inscription, or was it just a whim late one day? Who were they? What did they do? What did they mean to each other? Do they still love each other? 

Do you think Beck and Brett met Josh? Out one night? In a club. Off their faces. They took him home. All of their hearts racing? 

Was Brett straight. Was Josh straight? Was Josh gay? Did Josh fancy Beck? Did Josh fancy Brett? Was Brett always bisexual? Do you think they were both bisexual? Or was this the first time for all of them? Do you think it was confusing for two straight boys? Liberating? Enthralling? 

Was Beck the luckiest girl on the planet? Were they all very lucky? Do you think Josh watched Beck and Brett? Do you think Brett encouraged Beck and Josh? What do you think Brett and Josh did? Do you think Beck encouraged them? Do you think she watched.

It fills me full of hope for the world that three people who probably shouldn't love each other, did, do. Found each other. Loved. Hugged. Touched. Kissed. Caressed each other's hair. Slept in on Sunday morning exhausted. Washed each other's backs. Made each other breakfast. Met each other's family and blew all of their minds. Stunned friends? Negotiated a relationship that worked for them and left everybody else wondering, at least just a bit.
