A well-dressed pedestrian, sharp-witted, flippantly-so. Spicy in a grey suit. Tired feet, expensive shoes. Silver hair, slicked back, slightest pomp in front. Stops for a cappuccino, biscotti. Sidewalk cafe. The busier scurry by; he stares. Since retiring, this is the daily routine. Their tight suits, loose bodies. He'd have had them for lunch, eating out of his hand. Did. Can.
