Kid

Kid

He was on the outside
from day one
An outrider
An outsider
An outcast
Cast out into the midst of the community
when
His family broke up
he was broken too
later broken into
so he started breaking into others' houses
and breaking many hearts and minds.

In school games he was left outside
(no reference to a football position in reverse)
So he played his own game
the trouble causing game
He smashed windows
vandalised cars
fought with other kids
fought with teachers
fought with social work staff
sniffed glue
drank cider
had sex while underage
sired a small family to make up for his own one
shoplifted
got caught shoplifting
appeared before the panel
was referred to the court
and commenced a career
a career
in the law
and the breaking of same.
