what i think it’s like to be a teenage boy

***A sonnet built around Press Space to Stop’s song “sean”

He wakes, where could he have ever begun?

What could have brought this poor boy’s verity?

What could possibly bring some man’s grandson

Close to their bedroom’s singularity?

*

Revered for the infinite art inside,

Funneled down canals in shirtless youth,

Sounds digested for status, art aside:

Unfathomable art, there for a sleuth

*

A body made entirely of teeth

With nerves and endings not quite ev’rywhere

A blossoming head adorned with a wreath

Endless happy false starts without an heir

*

But surely if it’s good enough for God

Then Sean will bear it on his shoulders broad.
