My Architect

My Plastic Architect
Clean lines,
Sleek designs,
The heart of a 
Cold-blooded killer.
 
All for plastic presentation,
And glorifying adoration.
 
Being in absolute control,
Is imperative,
To his detailed nature.
Critical to a fault.
 
Greed is the epicenter,
Of his beating heart.
Selfish motives,
Are always waiting,
Just below the surface.
 
Porsche dreams,
Meager means,
Pinto bean meals,
Broken-down beater-wheels,
Fake veneers.
 
Pent-up frustrations,
Competitive manipulations,
Skilled showman,
Dirty-diapered man/boy.
 
Weeks and weeks of sky miles,
Hot ****, 
hotel rooms,
And worn-out hookers,
 
Years and years
Of broken-down dreams.
 
Not enough time,
For being real.
 
My plastic architect.
