In Words and Acts

Wearing his bag,

like his heart on his sleeve.

Smiling through a bushy beard.

Relaxed pose.

Shoulders low.

Hands clasped,

behind his back

Grinning widely, displaying evenly-spaced teeth.

Draping his side, a colourful bag.

Its handles, caressing his chest and back.

Contrasting the colours of his plain shirt.

Reaching into the bag, taking out his purse and

offering a note to his friend.

With this act, he went on his day, a happy man.

This note, surely will return.

In words and acts.

If not in cash.
