The Story of a Slip of a Lad

      
       A slip of a lad 
         like an apparition
       Glides in and out
         of his own volition… 

       His graceful movements exude potential
          Surely, his existence consequential 
       ‘Til one day, for a moment unmasked
           He appears naked ~ not a single credential
