It's inscripted in my DNA
it's my second inheritance
I wear it unknowingly
like the birthmark on my back.
a natural tattoo.
I scheme mischief
all in the name of curiosity
I hurt without apology
for euphemism seems so civil for my kind.
I live for today
for
tomorrow exists only in
tomorrow.
my culture is uncultured
undefined in your scales of measure.
every part of my being itch with freedom
I want to live in my existence
explore and implore
before time catches up with me,
after all
boys will be boys
but
big boys will be men.
