Underneath

A man on an escalator, did something silly; and reminded me that underneath the suit can be an innocent heart


Underneath

He's suited and booted;
shined shoes
Sharp dresser
serious man.

On the down escalator
busy eyes
balding head
being in charge.

Reaches out one hand
tips the metal
makes it sing
smiles a little smile.
