Poseur Poser

Passion
I am driven by Passion
not my passion
but others

I read a book
on punk rock
and I picked up
on the writer's Passion
and I became passionate
about another's Passion

I listen to punk
I enjoy punk
I am passionate about punk
but I am not Passionate

I am no Zelig
I don't attend shows
I don't wear leather
or dog collars
or safety pin my ears
I am only passionate
about the music

Can you love something
without being in love with it?
Can I listen
without living it?

I tell myself
It is about the music
not the lifestyle
not the drama
not the scene
but what if
I am wrong?
