Sellout

The man before me has a nice pinstripe suit. He stands with good posture and confidence. The suit fits his shoulders, has good arm length, a single break in the leg which rests on his nice black shoes. Obviously tailored... He has a light purple shirt which looks pressed. He has a tie that doesn't look like a nine year old at church tied it (a pet peeve of mine is a man who can't tie a tie.) On his wrists he has a nice stainless watch with a simple dial. 

He also has the words Love and Hate in a used-to-be-black-now-light-green shade on his hands across alternate knuckles. His ears have the lopsided remnants of large gauging pulling in like an old grandma's lips pulling in a drag on a cigarette. 

There is a spider web inked under his right ear, and under that stainless watch pokes out a sleeve of various images on his skin.

His hair has a single half-inch wide streak of blue in it. It wouldn't surprise me if he was using it to just cover the gray.

Wonder what he sees in the mirror.
