A man without any business sense.
A man who lives in the present tense.
A man wielding a large axe
splitting logs, which he then stacks.
A man disinterested in his dinner.
A man who states aloud: “I am a winner.”
A man laughing at his child’s joke.
A man without a job and broke.
An angry man, slowly becoming
sad instead. A man running.
A man blind to his own violence.
A man who realizes, and repents.
A man screaming at the screen-
a madman, for his chosen team.
A man alone with his fears
on a dark porch as daybreak nears.
A man eating a hot pepper by itself.
A man pulling whiskey down from a high shelf.
An old man who thinks of his childhood home,
reading a short and simple poem.
