Imaginings

What is hidden inside your bald, shaved head?

Do you hide nothing behind your violent façade?

Could you be a starving monk shouldering a day job, to contemplate by night?

Why does no one bring you food and all the sustenance a man needs?

And why, if I may ask, did you become a monk in the first place?

Did you inherit a temple, or had you an experience so devastating beyond my, or anyone's, comprehension?

Perhaps I am making unwanted waves in the reflections of your happy face, which you had directed not at me, but at the children, your customers.
