he was impatient
he was not indignant
he was nothing like the other
he was gold where there was a preferred silver
he was a thawing ice cap where there was soft salt waves
he was enclosed in tight laughter when the only barriers were furrowed face lines
he was nothing like the favored
shattered where the was only to be a fracture
but he supposed she loved shattered
because in the end she chose the lesser in exterior
