BOY MAN

at his age,one would think..(he does not
know how to be a parent..he has the attention span
of a small child/distracted by bright lights and movements
At ease with children(he is one!)-he watches children's movies/television
where special effects and adolescence coalesce with happy endings
to make comic book Marvels superhero status
All those comedians live off his foibles/they represent his demographic
Digital youth drone on ,dropping bombs in Afghanistan
He speaks American (no other languages-apart from fast food /movies/games/toys
distractions to take his mind away into shopping Malls
to buy is to live/to follow fashion fickle as fate
He will always be 16/Peter Pan pizza/pre-adolescent
Adonis /David/baby Jesus/a god before age crucifies
He will never have lines.He dies young,having been prerserved
like early Elvis,or every 60s idol who left us with retro -riffs
Fresh and clean as we wish we could be-he is boy,not yet a man
He combines innocence with incapacity.

MASK&MEMORIES
Who you are ,who you were,who you will become
All three meet in a conjunction random
Put your mask on.Pick a part.
Your script is written in your mask.

BEST BUY EXPRESS PURCHASE MACHINE
I stare @iphones,ipads,digital every device
Others push a button/swipe a credit card
Many stare @the glass sparkle allure
Some buy a dream.Most just move along.

i repeat myself.i repeat myself.i repeat myself.Let me say once again....
