Best Boy (Free verse) by MacFrantic
Credit him with reaching obscurity
At the highest level
Beneath a celebrated list of actors
And pretenders
Both of whom get the utmost recognition
But don't
Don't feel sorry for such a soul
For what is the best boy
If not a metaphor for us all?
A dying dream of the hopeless artist
The practiced religion of many a working man
And I said, "Dude, shut up...I don't care about your philosophy on life."
And he said, "Sor-ry for having an opinion, man."
"Oh, by the way, do you want fries with that?"
