a boy-man grows
by Charlie Morgana boy-man unfolded in front of me;
hangy-down pants hitched higher,
eyes that chased an idea til caught,
now.
an Archimedes moment, lasted 4 weeks.
a veiled child; his haunt was Adonis
features; innocence his fire-iron brand;
slowly the hood fell from his shoulders,
limp.
metamorphosis, more than a Franz Kafka novel.
he is no enigma, just a growing boy who
could be the next Langston Hughes, Ali,
or a common man with a wife and two kids.
