A boy, no Man

A boy, no Man

Abandoned, entrapped
No blinks, no windows, no naps
Loud knock, solid stares, bold affairs with fidget cares…
I enabled…
A boy, no Man

Perplexed, callow, indiscriminately astir
A sex crowd, allowed with discretions, no fear
Clockwise, persistent, delusive but detained
Escaping his account, by sanitizing his name
I enabled…
A boy, no Man

Fading, bleached, wishing upon restoration
Contradicting, shades of a buck, greeting sensation
Apprehensive, explanations, self confined
At birth, experiences never intertwined
I enabled…
A boy, no Man

Masking, ten thirty ones, denouncing she claims
Creamy, polished, words “unfamed”
Patronizing, for sustainability, the byproduct of lethargy
Soothing, front-end, compilations so sugary
I enabled
A boy, no Man

Silencing, alarms, third party rendezvous
Shaking, still unwavering, with faith to chew
Strengthening, uninviting, concrete walls a heart
Remedial, acknowledging, denials a la carte
I enabled
A boy, no Man

Abandoned, entrapped
No blinks, no windows, no naps
Loud knock, solid stares, bold affairs with fidget cares…
I enabled…
A boy absent of a Man
