Just Like Any Other

His voice was  damaged mud -
he reviled in its imperfection
using it like a drill to screw his point home.

He wrote his own license for entitlement
that the family was expected to cow to
He drove a red pickup truck
that was infinitely more ornate
than his own home
meticulously cared for
His smile was sharks teeth
filled or filed to make the sharpest point.

I never crossed the street to avoid him
but saw others do exactly that.
He stalked weakness
despised sheep
and blew revelry
with that booming voice.


I looked down the street today
and much to my surprise
saw him
washing his truck
at every fourth house.

Wow! Sounds like a prince among men. You painted a very vivid picture of a scoundrel
who's private little empire may have crumbled.

I know people like that. This is all of them put together.
