While one day sitting at the dentist
I picked up said magazine

sparking imaginaton of it's occupancy.
A man behind the make-up
stoik and unaware,
from loneliness depression releases anger from drunken
confrontations and swears,
he's scared.
Only freedom...

On Monday color me brown
I’m not that “man about town”!
Ready to blend 
and not be bothered, that’s me,
when I’m gettin’ down
to business.
