A Bald Man

A bald man
has a thick
moustache.

The head shines
and his curly bristle
twitches.

He is handsome
no matter the
sparse hair.

He acknowledges
as a dignity than
a deficit.

Wears not a wig
nor weaves artificially
to hide.

Reason it not
a reconcilliation.
It is beautiful.

I admire him
for his dynamism.
A great going.
