Poetic Bromance

According to DimeMag, Rashad McCants had such a serious bromance with Kevin Garnett that he wrote the following poem:

“He came to me with open arms, like a hawk embracing his young,
and he fed me food out his mouth but I was starving for knowledge.
the type of knowledge that can’t be fed by hand or voice, but by heart.
so when he spoke he touched my soul, and my soul would smack me if I didn’t listen the words he spoke weren’t for the ears to hear.
because his words were real, it’s hard to hear the truth when lies are so loud.
I put my earphones on so I can hear nothing and see everything.
lies could never steal my attention when he…he…spoke.

The eyes never lie. and when he spoke he wore no glasses.
he wanted me to see the truth, which was? that everyone wears glasses to protect lies, truth? glasses? lies?
sounds like earth, sounds like humans, sounds like America.
but if that’s so where is he from? not from here, he has no glasses!
there was an aura, a light, a truth, about him.
special? never. different? maybe. human? impossible. so I asked him one question to expect one answer.
when you walk and talk and teach how come everyone can stare at your light, your aura, your truth?
because we are the same.”

Aside from wishing that McCants would stick to basketball, I am troubled but this commentary on glasses. I wear my sunglasses at night, but that does not mean I'm lying to anyone except, perhaps, about whether my eye makeup looks good under the lenses. Needless to say, this is a serious bromance that's been plagued with heartbreak since KG was traded.
