Reflection in a cloud?

Macho thin.
And the dude had a
high voice too,
when he was out of
his indulgences.
I ran into him one night,
in an alley on first avenue.
I remember it was raining,
how shiny the dirty brick road was
under the streetlights.
It was my element.
My home...where I slept
with other lost souls.
Smartmouth didn't last long there.
His sharp little jokes
didn't amuse us fatties.
His tales of injustice
wore too much
costume jewelry
for us gems.
That little fucker
used to interrupt moonlight
when she'd
beam on the river
just for us!
We'd snicker,
wonder,
how did narcissus
see his reflection in a cloud?
He cried when we ate the cookies
his mama sent him.
He was the skinny boy
on the beach.
Pretending not to be
who he was.
Sometimes his protruding bones
made us hungry.
He left after a few months.
We hardly remember him.
But those cookies were
sure good.
