the greatest (halcyon, whatever)

yeah

i used to be

strong enough

to take on ali

yeah i used to be

the voice

of youth and

the sweet uprising

the full scale throttle of

an energetic desire

the cause

the purpose

the fighter

of the under

and the man who could

hit like thunder

and smack that ass like

a feather

or at least like a

small bit of leather

but only

if it brought her pleasure

and she was the softest thing

i’d ever seen

and the filtered lens

i can look back through

makes me feel so lost

when I think of you

kid

standing

with your morning face

staring form the porch

nude to the waist

and

smiling

with your morning coffee

yeah i used to be

the lover

you would desire for me to be

and every day

i made the plays

just right to make

the night

yeah i used to be

the greatest

in your eyes
