you boys

you boys got heart.

dont let them take it
from you.

though our youth is waning

we have our passion.

yes.

they have those eyes
their hips
those lips

that way with them.

but our potential is endless.

yes, boys

we have heart.

dont let them suck it dry.

we are everything!

yet nothing...

without them.

as i smoke

as i smoke a cigarette

and the crickets play
their violins

i realize that what i know
is who i am

and these things
i know

i will somehow

somewhere

forget...
