Wink

Leaving a restaurant he stalls and sings

loudly and strong

to a throng of people waiting, longing

 

for pizza, pepperoni. A mister

has on a hat

with candles and ‘It’s my Birthday!’ lit up.

 

Now all the crowd sing out ‘Happy Birthday’

and Andrew waves,

conducts a chorus extravagantly.

 

I bet you never saw so many smiles.

He parades aisles

winking at a mirror, giving himself the eye.
