Poems (The Patterns of my Mind)

Boy Called Spiderman

Alfonso 

Alfonzo

A name I didn't know until a few years after I first saw his face

And I still don't know how to spell

To me, he was the boy called Spiderman

Spiderman

Some say he looked like the actor that was in the movies

But since I never watched them, I never knew for sure

He was agile, athletic and flexible

And was a star soccer player

Perhaps that is a reason why 

Spiderman

He was new that summer, just like me

He got along great with the boys

All my friends liked him

I guess I liked him too

Alfonzo

He was also called molasses 

Which I really didn't understand

He was one of the fastest on the field

Was never slow at all

I never thought him to be sweet

He was him

He was Spiderman, not sweet

Alfonzo

A school year went by

And when he came back

We locked eyes and I knew something was different

This summer he was quiet

Barely talked to his closest friends

Still played soccer, but wasn't all the rage

They barely called him Spiderman or molasses

Barely called his name

To me, he was still the boy called Spiderman

Spiderman

This summer Gabe was the rage

Gabriel and his little brother

The ones that looked like twins

The little one was popular because of his older brother

But he was the one too young for us

Gabe got along well with the boys

All my friends liked him

I guess I liked him too

But I never forgot the boy called Spiderman

A school year and a summer later

I see him once a month 

Now that I go to his school

Passing the the halls, barely looking up

Two silent people

Seeming alone, just like me

He never knew who I was

And I still think he doesn't know

Or doesn't remember me from those summers

Just a silent observer

Of the boy called Spiderman

Spiderman
