The Cartoon Character Pie Vapor Thing

The Cartoon Character Pie Vapor Thing

I drift behind him,
cartoon wafting on pie fumes
He's bowlegged though

There's a man at my work that I always see in the very long and narrow hallway--we joke that we have the same schedule when we pass each other by. He wears Polo cologne, and if I happen to be behind him, I just drift along, feet and body aloft like some cartoon character smelling yummy pie vapors. When I was 14 there was a 17-year-old boy that lived next door to me I thought was the bee's knees; he wore Polo and I got hooked. Today it doesn't matter if the man wearing my favorite cologne is an unsightly poo poo face, he still smells like a dream to me. But I cannot abide the bowed legs, no matter how much Polo you throw on them.
