Bird Boy
We used to tease him
'cause we didn't believe him
He tried to convince
but we thought it was for kicks
We laughed, and pointed, and smiled,
His name was Kyle,
but we called him Bird Boy,
'cause he thought he could fly.
The rest of us kids were sure it was a lie,
'till he opened the window
and flew right out.
He never returned.

Poetry is either something that lives like fire inside you or else it is nothing, an empty formalized bore around which pedants can endlessly drone their notes and explanations.
