He Is.

He is an enigma.
He's always hiding,
buried in blankets and
music and
sweaters
that overflow with
the smell of
his heritage and
the toxins that
fill his blood.

His fingerprints are
embedded in the
denim that never
leaves his legs.

Head down, eyes low,
he passes the world by,
too busy with surviving
to notice the hearts he breaks.
