RevolutionAl (Alistair Plint)'s Rendition-...and when a man cries

 
...and when a man cries  
  
in the corner of his  
highs    
   
no one could see    
no one would see    
no one should see    
   
and when a man cries    
behind the veil    
of his highs    
   
he has done all    
he could've done    
he would've done    
he should've done    
   
to avoid    
the void    
   
and    
when a man cries    
under clear blue skies    
it rains    
no    
not a flood    
just a pair of droplets    
on a couple of specks of dirt    
leaving them moist  
yet as barren    
as before    
   
and when a man cries    
with open dry eyes    
his widest of grins    
are his    
whitest of lies    
   
do not ask what happens    
when?    
a man cries    
   
it is only after    
"the man"    
in him    
dies    
.    
   
   
it happens    
without a sigh    
because    
when a man cries    
he does so    
behind the visible highs    
   
   
and when a man cries....
