AH TO BE A YOUNG MAN, WITH CROWNS OF ADOLECENSE HE CRIES AT THE SITE OF RESPOSIBILITY, WITH CHILD LOCKED IN CLOSETS OF FREEDOM HE STRIDES FORWARD, AND DRAWS ASSUMPTIONS OF JUVENILE FIGURES, PITY GOES TO MASCULINITY, WHICH FAVORS HIM, REVERENCE CLUSTERS AROUND FEMININITY, WHICH REJECTS HIM, AND COMPLAISENCE,TO THE FATHER WHICH WAITS TO ANNOINT HIM, AH TO REALIZE THE OLDER CHILD AND TO CARRY HIS ABANDON AS A YOUNG MAN
Reason for writing:
THIS POEM IS THE CONFUSION I EXPERIENCE AS A 'YOUNG MAN' AND AS A MEMBER OF THE MODERN SOCIETY WHIH CORRUPTS YOUTHS OF ALL GENERATIONS.IT ALSO TOUCHES ON THE LIMITATIONS OF LIVING IN SUBURBAN AMERICA. FOR WHOEVER CARES: MY BIRTH SIGN IS CANCER
