A smudge of a man, <br />he trudged the blur between <br />a can-do attitude, <br />a cruel demeanor, <br />and pooled eyes <br />hollowed out <br />by too many years of <br />smearing his fists <br />against his tears.<br /><br />David Nelson Bradsher<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/out-of-focus/
