Born in the back seat
Black and Brown-Eyed
He practices looking important between ordinary errands.
The Evening Route
Every evening, he rides past the grand hotel and studies how the doorman stands. At home, he rehearses one calm nod, keeps a secondhand tie beside the seat, and waits for an invitation nobody has sent yet. He has not missed a single night of practice.
Two Good Coats
Common By Birth
He knows every cracked curb, cheap biscuit, and late bus home.
Noble By Practice
He bows to strangers and never rushes an important doorway.
Distance Upstairs
The route is modest; the destination has polished brass, clean shoes, and someone remembering his name.
