    Aboy Mad

    Madness! Genius!
    Beauty

    as I have just seen
    a six year old walking himself on a lead
    pretending it was not around his neck, in his mouth

    pretending he was not dictating for us
    the most typical story

    pretending he enjoyed the claps
    of the people walking past

    safely.
    “When I rule the world…!”
    See! I told you! Genius
            

    Though he does not see
    how he owns it already.

    The line breaks and hanging line indents may be incorrectly formatted because I cannot be bothered to fiddle with the HTML. View the correct formatting in the full collection Juveni… Doesn’t Matter (The Grey-Salmon Book) (and subscribe at the top of the page).
