Swagger, Forbidden City, Beijing, China

Swagger

Swagger
Chutzpah
Presence

A small man
Of no small mass

A big heart
A wise soul
Both worn
Close to the surface

I can’t remember
His name
Was it Jay?
I’ll call him Jay

One of those people
Your train rolls by
When you travel
Whether in your eye
For just a few moments
Or just a few days
Then remembered

Part of my story
Forever
