Shoulders slumped,
Walking slowly,
One foot
Goes further
Than the other.

The corners
Of his mouth
Turn down
Slightly.

In his eyes,
There is
A question.

There is
Someone else
Depending on
Him,
You see,
One, or
Two.

When
He sees
Another one,
Worse off,
He straightens,
And walks more
Assertively.

For one moment,
The corners
Of his face
Lift
To smirk
