a gaggle of middle aged men sit
around a round of beers
talking about their glory days.

the first time i…

bragging about reckless
hedonism and arrested development.
hoping their distant social capital
has accrued interest.   

it’s remarkable
how little the world cares
about their souls.  

grow up.
get over it.
be a man.

how many lies do we tell our boys
about the future of their lives?
