Sitting and waiting patiently
partaking in the spirited conversation
where no subject is off limits

Being mindful and yet having
respect for other opinions
I bite my tongue on occasion

My turn to reside in the over
stuffed reclining man throne
of exterior rejuvenation

Clippers cut, taper and edge
piping hot towels & warm cream
for the straight razor finish

Touched up with the burn of
ice blue Barbasol and talc wisk
finished by a crisp towel snap

A slow chair spin with the mirror
for a 360 view of barbers work
and confirm his skilled perfection

Payment rendered with a generous
tip on the DL while biding good day
to all patrons until next time.
