“Buzzz!
Buuuuuuzzzzzz!”
Announcing, the intercom.
His delivery: balanced skillfully,
sliced pizzas and cheesy breadsticks.
Trots away, tallying the cash.
Papa John’s Pizza baseball cap.
Except for that, he’s all pressed
slacks, belt, oxford, business casual.
“Doo---owoup!”
Unlocking, heavy doors.
Gingerly sits down: well maintained
silver 2008 sleek Lexus Sedan.
Drives away, dropping the windows.
“We'll
steal away to the dark end of the street…”
Crooning, James Carr.
Cap comes off: salt-n-pepper cropped
slim, sixtyish, six-foot, black man.
