A Boy with Dreams

by A. Gautam

Willy waited every night to wake up and turn into Batman.

He had the jaw that looked intimidating in a cowl,

and the perfect chin with a hint of toughness—

full lips—an embodiment of strength.

But he had the eyes of a poet—searching meaning,

and looking beyond what is seen.

When he looked at the city from his balcony,

he was learning to swim in the world—

growing up to be a man was tougher than it seemed.

He was a boy with dreams.

He wanted wings.
