Look At The Man Posing
Look at the man posing like an escalator twit
People keep descending while he blocks the exit
Look at the man talking with an invisible friend
People have to listen to his cell-phone on end
Look at the man coughing as a spreader of disease
People breathe in his germs uncovered in the breeze
Look at the man turning without a signal to warn
People break to escape accidents swiftly born
Look at the man acting like he has empty pockets
People pay their fair share while he shuns the dockets
Look at the man staring robotically in space
People have to wonder if he's a basket case
