The time before
seems like a blur
of darkness.
Like there was another Boy,
alone and scared,
whispering his needs into space
just hoping there was an alien listening
who can understand him
better than anyone else can.

Little did he know
that someone was listening—
consuming every word

Like little worker bees
The Muses often wait
until The Boy has exhausted
all of his energy
and the god of sleep Hypnos
has granted him rest
to begin their work.

Diligently watching him
throughout the day,
with thread and giggles
they creep around The Boy
making silly connections

When The Boy writes
he always thinks
there may be
someone, somewhere
just waiting
For his words.

They don't know they're waiting.
They're just living their life,
putting one foot in front of the other,
struggling to stay afloat
as the seas of change
toss and tumble them
this way and that.

The Boy often wonders
what compels him to
do what he does.

Surely nobody
asked him for this—
who would beg The Boy to
berate them with lyrical language
about how such lyrical language
berates The Boy
internally.

It must be something
within The Boy,
down deep.
Some machine or

The sounds of pure joy
is all The Boy wants to hear
and to hear it he will happily deploy

every tool that he can employ.
Even if he can make a sneer appear
it will make The Boy feel joy.

He plays with words like they were toys,
making sure the the punchline is unclear
until he is ready to

The Boy worries that
one day
His words may come back
to bite him.

The Boy fears that
all of the thoughts and emotions,
pieces of himself,
he puts into his poems
may come back to haunt him.

That once a poem
sees the light of day,
breaths its own air,

There is a heat that
burns hot inside of The Boy.
It feels like fire,

like he had eaten
a meal that was so spicy
it made his stomach

into a large kiln,
crafting works of art that say
the things that he can't.

It is not proper
for The Boy to show anger
so he lets the art
