MY UNCLE
U wouldn't know by looking at him...
Scruffy red blushed face
Flushed/covered with fine lined wrinkles
No end, no beginning
Dark freckled treads/mane
Bowl shaped front with a lil side mullet
Permanent blood shot eyes
Shaky husky voice
Wanders solo on suburban streets
A streetwalker
In worn tired clothing
That holds a long history
Seen many things
Threads barely holding its own
Coming undone
While marching 2 his own beat
Going 2 work, an unfamiliar task
The bottle his friend and foe
He drives no more
But knows every street, every area of the silicon valley
Better than his own hand, bettr than a gps
God bequeathed him a love for learning
He used 2 b a professor
Once in korea and once in Taiwan
His children, MIT alums
But unless u took the time 2 ask
U wouldn't have even fathomed
There was more 2 this streetwalker character
A genius in disguise.
A genius interrupted and plagued by detrimental habits
But then again what is a genius supposed 2 look like?
