If You Cared To

If you care to,
you can learn volumes about a boy
by the pace at which he walks,
or the things he always carries,
or where he places his hands when he sits,
or how he reacts to his own mistakes,
or his posture when he writes,
or how much eye contact he can stand,
or the marks on his body,
or what he does when he thinks no one is looking,

but you don't.
