Here comes
He who fears none but the whispers in his ear drum
Welcomed by weirdos but still subtly scares them
Just the nature of human to untrust someone by the complexion of their eye movements
Don’t judge
They’re just intrusive thoughts – runoff from the high torquing cortex he sports –
That begun as early as birth
supposed doctors who had pulled the starving child from his mother’s lacerated corpse
And so developed something like a miracle, forever anomalous and scarred but unceasing to fulfil
Dreams fuelled by childhood hypoxia, so when he achieved a breath of oxygen his mind would completely unfurl
Now as an adult, with his place hand-carved out of the jagged crust of the world
All most can do is look, wonder what goes on behind the visages he manufactures
You might see him at the back of the function standing very cursed
With something to smoke on & a glass of fluid you can’t discern
Or on late November evenings when it gets really dark
Stalking through graveyards, chiselling new inscriptions on faces of the stones
And if you’re unlucky enough to be one
In whom he shows some fascination, just be calm
Look deep through his eyes to that undulating mind
and let it be known that you don’t want harm
So he might leave you alone
So you can return
to stealing glances of his contoured lips and cheekbones
As they are so accentuated under light of the moon
When he is back to gazing off to a distance
