As peeled skin gets turned inside out
Zipped back together
Turning two into one
With a few snaps
Life is reversible
Black denim and leather warrior
Surveys the color scheme
Too bright to take in all at once
Shock them
With pink yellow green turquoise and orange
They never knew what hit them
Just like that
Manhood is questioned
Balding scarfed Lebanese magnate
Whispers to friend
"I think the boy is strange
Might be a terrorist"
Viking man agrees
Both wear my face
Wrinkled and furrowed from the weight of mortgage
Sallow as soil runoff
If all goes well
They will both be right
Finding jobs closer to home
Cheap shoe mechanic pant man
Can't hold hooded head up
Arms crossed
Head in basket
He knows why we keep what we earn
Next time around could be beans
Soap
Milk
Pastries
For now education will promise him
A rank joining
Part of our club
Debt
Estrangement
Hoarding
All come together
Placement in a pile
Rescue all photographs
Send into space
Say goodbye
Love yourself
Not so hard
You chafe
For now
Enjoy the good times
Blankets
Showers
High Definition
Bright red lobster for the warrior
Rust washed outback for the Viking and his friend
Soft taco bell for the student
