About a Boy

He's about a boy, white as snowflake, thin as chopsticks, hard as diamonds- rough as sandpaper who wears the green over shoulders and brass on his torso, rifle in his hand, learning where a man should stand upon his native land. He's about a boy, scared as man to natures around, quite as death- awkward eyes as unwanted silence, feebly stalking what he craves for hours and through days in his mysterious ways... He's about a boy becoming a man.
