So he sleeps behind his fathers counter, little prince of a general store neighborhood dynasty Is he a king, that he should doze on the throne? Kings and boys- they’re all the same, anyway. Anyway, make it three if a kind: kings + boys + Gods A full hand, royal flush, this boy-king-god in his palace of cereal boxes cheekbones polished by the flickering fluorescent light the type flies are too afraid to land on, the type they land on anyway- and here, he sleeps on; unbothered. No one will believe you but me. He will keep sleeping and you will keep stocking the shelves of his domain and nobody will believe you but me; justice passes by The fly gets fried by the light overhead. You saw it, he slept, and who would ever believe you but me?

Flies in the kitchen
