Inspired by and dedicated to the vexatious life of Erik Satie.
Boy Genius by Michael Romani Reeling out of control Unable to console The boy genius fights Taking confront in his nights Sideways bit of swagger Sliced into like a dagger Shamelessly ballistic Far too antagonistic Wordlessly described Often circumscribed More ego than we know Force taken blow by blow Longing for glory But failing at the story Self superior in his thinking Caught up in his drinking Reeling out of control Unable to console The boy genius fights Taking comfort in his night Disintegrating humanity Lost within in his vanity Collapsing in his sanity He falters in his dignity Approaching steps toward fame Harrowed into his shame Lonely dreams coming true Melt into the serenity renewed Shown love and empathy He returns this with cruelty Lost capacity for connection He's never cared for correction Reeling out of control Unable to console The boy genius fights Taking comfort in his nights (c) September 9, 2019 Michael Romani All Rights Reserved
