Poems for the community, by the community, about the community

So another week, another TFE challenge;

This time a pome about someone in a public place.

have to write it in 5 minutes flat... the pressure

Right

Wispy headed you grab your usual chair

at the counter

and for the first time, I see

the triangle of lighter cover in your hair

the start of your baldness

I've noticed you before

because you're the spit

of a guy from long ago

but you're not him really

and you've seen me too

and you can feel me watching

because you swivel in the seat to see

who's staring in indecency at you -

and I want to explain, it's not my fault!

it's TFE!

but you just lightly smile,

you may think I'm trying to flirt

while all the guys from work

sit around me talking matches, and roy keane

and you walk out again

a swagger in your pace

and you've been seen

this younger version of a long ago male beauty queen
