Jackson, Amadeus



Jackson, Amadeus


There was something in the way he moved.
A child of exceptional talent raised
in a controlling and exploitative world
and used by the jungle for any purpose
other than his own welfare.
Never allowed to develop his own
survival strategies other than
a bizarre external life.
The only peace, the only escape,
being fantasy, the neverland of childhood.
