he’s daydreaming
and there’s nothing wrong with that
he shakes his head
but he’s as bright as a button
you’d see him walking around
doing a handstand if he wanted to
but mostly he would sit in the middle
watching the bridge
and contemplating

For the visually challenged reader, this image shows a small grey figurine sitting on the railing of a bridge. There’s a wistful expression on his face. He has a beard and mustache and on his head a lock of curly hair.
Written in response to Sadje‘s What Do You See #281 photo prompt.
