A boy got drunk
A boy woke up in the hospital
A boy's parents hate him
not him but what he had become
not what he was mind you
but what he had become
a boy didn't know what he was
he knew what he was to himself
but what he was to others
that's what was being called into question
this was new to the boy
he was used to being loved
of course he was still loved uncondotionally
but there was something inorganic
about the need to state it
