yeah, he’s past that

age where

men put up fake smiles

to be liked

and to fit in circles

I think he’s in his

early

forties

Good man

works all day and

keeps his

mouth shut

even if he’s asked something

Great man

At 6 PM the work day

ends

and he drives home

and parks in the

driveway

and spends another two

or even three hours

in the car

windows rolled up

silence

enjoying a can of beer

and thinking

aimlessly

just standing in

silence and

thinking

And I pass by him and

observe

and the more I do so

the more I understand

the closer I get

to becoming

that man
