so young and pristine
that boy screams as he bleeds
with such inconvenience to a pile of laundry
dawn has turned to dusk and yet hes folding in on himself
cleanly desks and drawers underneath a pair of shorts
shorts too short for his mother but just long enough for the naked eye
those with an eye for little boys fashion wouldnt look in surprise
his so called purity and divinity will always be overtaking a part of his brain
his hesitating denial still rings in his undeveloped mind
he never wanted to be a dirty scandal
but here we stand,, in a river with a little boy
too fragile,, reaching for a helping hand
“wanna come help me,, little boy?” one says,, gesturing to their pants
cries echo through the wooded palace he imagined
but he holds no memory of such an event
a girl his age then approaches him,, so innocent and kind
hes left feeling odd and empty inside when her friendship proves unwise
fixation after fixation hes fixing on that laundry
so messy and undone as he repeats that hes sorry

is it normal,, mama? (poem,, tw sa)
