(once there was a boy who)

winnieContemplative

Once there was a boy; Who couldn't lie, But manipulate.

Indoors he put up stars, While outdoors he was late. He hung out with introverts at bars; Extroverts? He made them wait

Changed he masks, Before anyone asks, With effortlessness of a juggler.

As casual guy he Got his way, oh glee! He dressed up to fulfil, A hole he couldn't even feel

Out of way he kept all spite Hid at home away from light

Gone was summer, down came fall No furs for him No furs at all

Winter cascaded; I concluded

Maybe he wasn't a bad guy after all? Indeed,

Once there was a boy; Who couldn't die, But navigate.
