POEM: props

props

big guy in the back
hair sweatstuck to his
forehead right above
his big plastic glasses
scratches his forelock
pulls at the t-shirt that
barely covers his paunch
pigeon-toed in skateboarder
shoes looks with his whole
head like an owl who’s lost
his feathers clutching an
energy drink space-phone
in his other hand right
behind the band where
we can’t help but see him
