you were just a boy -
teeth glistening, cheeks aching -
rehearsed politeness and combed hair --
poise and dignity,
an air of confidence circles you like a shark
phony boy,
made from cellophane;
talk a big game, go home and write lines you'll never say
you stay awake -
you don't really have a choice -
remodel your town, make it the place you long for it to be;
remodel yourself --
carve yourself from marble, aluminum boy
they used to call you adonis;
now, they call you nothing
you were only a boy

this is different from the usual stuff
was just thinking about my favorite character of all time
