Men

(I) Man

This angry young man
shook off his girlfriend
boarded the bus

His tone was hard
He spoke with purpose
("I want nothing to do with you.")

But when his hand brushed against mine,
his skin was soft.

(II) Men
Two man moulding,
kneading, knocking
mooncakes into shape

One, a showman,
lapping up the attention
Flouring the tabletop
with dramatic tosses
Chatting up the lasses

The other,
pressing, checking,
amusement quietly playing
on his lips.
