eccentric

he walks the world
apart but part
dressed for a party
which only he attends
hat and tie and suit
all smart
shoes shined
from tip to ends
named by those
who are unkind
as crazy, odd and weird
a sparkle in his eyes
and glitter in his beard
but I approach
to shake his hand
for mirrored in himself
I stand
eccentric too
in my own way
upon this stage
wherein we play
