utter self-confidence
he walks as a fat man does
swaggering
yet soft on his feet
as if dancing
lost to the beat of his
girdling motion

immense and immune to
the world's little worries
buried in strength and
soaking his shirt
he rolls off the crowd
a prow through the waves
using his shoulders to sail

billowing wind with a
puff of his cheeks
