he
was a young man of the old school,
he
was a wise guy who wouldn’t play the fool;
he
was well-versed but had bad diction...
he
was a walking contradiction.
he
was an A-student athlete,
he
was always upset but never downbeat;
he was contrary to confliction...
he
was a walking contradiction.
he
was easy going but had a hard time,
he
was well off but didn’t own a dime;
he
was smooth despite the friction...
he
was a walking contradiction.
he
was straight-faced with a crooked smile,
he
was worn-out but in style;
he
was healed by his addiction...
he
was a walking contradiction.
he
was open minded but had an empty heart,
he
was an apprentice in life and a master of art;
he
was transgressive by prescription...
he
was a walking contradiction.
he
was intellectually advanced but emotionally immature,
he
was certain he was not sure;
he
was unconvincing in his conviction...
he
was a walking contradiction.
he
was on the road and homeward bound,
he
was absolutely lost but relatively found;
he
was characterized beyond description...
he
was a walking contradiction.
he
was a young man of the old school,
he
was a wise guy who wouldn’t play the fool;
he
was, in fact, a fiction...
he
was a walking contradiction.
