he slouches down when he laughs

hunching down until all that you see

is the top of his maroon beanie

his brassy brown hair peeks out

and brushes close to his brilliantly blue eyes

set apart by the smattering of freckles

barely brushed across his nose

he carelessly lets white earbuds hang from around his neck

and absently flips a coin from hand to hand

he wears a faded braided bracelet on his left wrist

that once could have been green and yellow

and his t-shirt has band names listed across

~he’s in his own  world
