      		growing up too fast


      the last time I
      saw you:
      buried in the ground like
      water,
      your iceberg dreams
      pulled further down by
      gravity’s spoiled child,
      screaming
      and much too tired
      for his own
      good.

      and,
      with windowpane eyes,
      pupils dilated
      like an ambulance driver
      in five o’clock traffic,
      you
      are
      gridlocked,
      living on a flat earth,
      and that boy in the back seat,
      armed with IV lines and
      broken brains,
      sleeps
      execution style.
