Trade Warrior

So seamless an entity is he.
sleek before the crowd
bullet proof
tempered hard
steel 
determination loud

Urban warrior
lean before the mass
tackle business
evenly
dodge before the crash

Suited armor
mohair gleam
woolen effigy
strained vessels
temples red
Imbibes with glee at noon

Not enough to win 
the day
ore brethren in the clinch
they must lose
fall away
to rise another inch.
