Those adolescent
boyhood desires
have truly never left
and even after
all these years
it makes things hard
to see certain things.
Teenage boyhood charms
the dark and heavy
illustrations and movies
show us that other side
barely being covered up.
To our twenties,
still unsure how to explore
the strange odd logic
of where we fit in life.
Resigned to starting a family
those thirties were kind
the joy and fun
of raising my two loves.
Finally, the breakthrough,
forty different points of light
on broken knees to palms
so many want to play now
obey the new rules
if you wish to want.
Combine them all into one
adolescent, teenage and adult
all still the same
yearning to get a glimpse
to touch and play together
we can make our own movies.
I honestly don’t mind
if you choose to look.
