Ryan is a Worimi fella, a “kind of” writer / a tone-deaf poet, more a fisher than a biter / been a research assistant and persistent masquerade / long-time student and lifelong resident of the “so much potential” stockade / I’m just waiting on some paperwork, waiting for your stamp / then I can finally go to the “this one has value” camp / as the fisher who sits feels the champ at his bit / I’ll land another mask wear to wear, more uncomfortable; never fits.
