All hail the evergreen teen, the guy always looking for laughs.
Rarely focused past right now; more comfort in pointing out gaffes.
Happy to coast on others’ need to make sure he is ok.
He is a good time had by all…until things don’t go his way.
He sighs & he tries, in consternation, to do what he can.
Fragile in ego, delicate pride, seldom a sporting man.
Not a fan of the everyman, hiding behind hipster fog.
Expecting the best & shocked at worse; a jester’s underdog.
Still, an inner child, mad & wild, preferred to toxic bully.
Hearts of gold can’t grow old; if only we saw ourselves fully.
