there was a boy with a racecar bed who never liked vanilla, but chocolate instead.
there was a boy who liked to climb trees, who watched cartoons, & ate his peas.
there was a boy who liked to run fast, who was too fearless, who was never in last.
there was a boy with big blue eyes, who liked reading books, & stormy skies.
there was a boy with long brown hair, with a piercing here & pink scar there.
there was a boy with cigarette breath, who liked fast cars, & wrote about death.
there was a boy with a deep glassy stare, who cried at night, because life isn't fair.
