he makes it look easy

he makes it look easy,
as easy as opening your eyes,
but he seems to have come upon
his codification over time,
through experience,
a life lived,
through joy,
disappointments,
violent means,
any instrument or
tool that holds potential

he can't stop his mind's eye from structuring each
passing place or event as an interesting story

at just the decisive moment
he is still young enough to
have the deepest
and most spontaneous impact
yet mature enough to be
able to start reacting
constructively to his needs,
wants, requirements,
requests and wishes

opening with his grand and gorgeous edifice,
composing a delicious synchronization of
mistresses, duchesses, hoers, hoes
and princesses that he sculpts and cares for,
visions, daydreams, illusions, desires,
are even more seductive and provocative
and in the end, he knows better than to waste his time,
he has been around metaphors long enough to know
what delusions they can produce

still, in relative seclusion and isolation
yet remaining savvy enough to
know that when she was ready,
the only thing to do was to act
