Handle Bars

That moustached man intrigues me. 
Such angst and turmoil, sadness and hair pulling avidity. 
 I wonder how much of it is because he sits alone in this crowded pub,
finds it de rigueur to the fill the empty space around himself with unnecessary motion.
 
all I want to do, on this day before the day before,
 is to lay my hand on his thin artistic shoulder
and whisper a reminder
 
to wear a curly smile above your lips
- such cheery jungle jim arms drawing rosy apples on your cheeks-
 
 is a recipe for joy.
