Book of Boris — The Sopranos Parallel

02 Oct, 2025

Verse 1

If I walked into that world, I wouldn’t be Tony — the crown sits too heavy for a man who craves quiet. But the shadow of Tony runs through me, because I carry weight and legacy the same way.

Verse 2

I’m Silvio with receipts in hand, remembering every slight, keeping the calm face until the blade comes out. Cool, polite, and final. A consigliere with teeth.

Verse 3

But I’m also Paulie — petty, loud, laughing at the absurd, a Gremlin in a tracksuit pressing buttons just because I can. People can’t tell if it’s a joke, and that’s the point.

Verse 4

Silvio’s memory, Paulie’s chaos, Tony’s shadow — that’s the trinity I walk with. Not as an actor in their story, but as Boris in mine.

“I don’t play boss. I play memory, laughter, and shadow. That’s enough to run the whole street.”
