I beg you please

Listen to me

I’ll tell you a legend 

Of Keanu Reeves

*

There’s pale in his face

Yes there’s style

But more grace

*

A prisoner of blockbuster film

He is The Prince of Action

*

The one, the brutal

Your vital action hero

No “dude” has come so far

*

Some adventures are endless

He brought history to the future

The sword to the enemy

The demon to church

*

And he even killed Common

*

A career so radical

Has left him an angel

Your savior, yet still

Your BOOGEYMAN

*

Ode to you, Neo

Bender of the matrix

Ode to you, Ted

Hand to sky, Hand to chest

Ode to you, Mr. Wick

Punch that fucking – knife- in!

*

I am not Mark Twain

But I’d ride in that phone booth

I’d ride in the car

Vito’s son fucking stole

*

Or just unplug onto the Nebuchadnezzar…

*

If it meant I could share just a scene

With such a light

And a fight dance machine

*

Because I would boil my balls in 

Rice and spit

Just to dilly dally 

With Mr. Wick.

*

Adieu.
