a busy boy
so curious
about the world
and what’s in it
with his tired wondering eyes
he seems to absorb everything
the words between the lines
tiny details no one finds
he barely speaks
prefers to be
all by himself
all the books upon his shelf
seem not to be enough
to fulfil his growing urge
finding rationales, and understand the world
this is what you see
tell me, is this really me?
I can’t read
I can’t write
not a word
I am afraid
that something is not right with me
I should understand and see
but the words are twisted around
and the letters seem upside down
there is no chance
to get any sense
out of that mess
I know it can’t be meaningless
but to see it through might take a while
as long as it takes me to find a way
out of this oppressive idleness
that I feel damned to night and day
