tell me
as a child
what is it like to be a man
is it
having dope fiend musician friends
along with developing vascular necrosis
while you conceal your hands with mittens in the sun
is it making two children fight over a sausage
at breakfast
is it telling stories of fishing expeditions
is it driving after burning your hand
in a minor meth lab explosion
after you put a spike of heroin into your neck?
or is it merely
lying
because you were always too stupid to recall the truth
of your vomit nights in a supermarket bag
while you figured nothing about being a man at all
