The man in his fifties slightly overweight
Had mastered the art of sarcasm
he worked at the turnstyle
selling t shirts and mugs
His desire was to stay in the mind of those who passed by
So he would weight his comments
Partially from his observations of the person
Partially from his own erroneous beliefs about life
with each creak of the turnstyle another member would exit
or enter
And there he would go running his mouth
Trying to elicit an emotional response
But noone bought the mug
Noone bought the tshirt
And most would nod dismissingly
Robbing him of his delight
For when the face of the person turned
With a hint of worry or shame
The slightly overweight fifty year old
Would beam as if he had acquired the world over
