\neither way
\nlions and gladiators
\ntightly packed cages of

I watch a tanned lone man
\nin jaunty feathered fedora

\nclassic tweed jacket
\ntasteful dark rose boutonniere
\ntextured silk necktie
\ndeep plum pressed shirt
\nelegant gold rings bracelet
\npressed grey slacks
\ngleaming wingtips
\nstanding among the
