What’s with the mustache?
(Silence)
Have you ever shaved it off?
(Pause) No.
How long have you had it?
(Pause) It’s older than you are.
Really?
(Silence)
Why don’t you shave it off?
(Silence)
So. Why don’t you shave it off?
(Pause) It’s foliage.
(Pause.) What?
(Silence) (I catch the stare. Then the flash of understanding, of empathy. The eyes avert. The awkward step backward to create space.)
Smiling,
I turn my back and walk away.

What a towering tree
Talks about the fascination to be at the top
from this angle below
we look up to see
how all trees meet their heads
talk and listen with rustling leaves
chirping birds
foliage in mystical setting is calling to feel free
with fresh soothing breeze 🙂
BEAUTIFUL!
Thank you
Yes…hmmmm…very mysterious. 🙂

You keep it, David; it’s seriously charming… 😉

Why do I picture that silent, all-knowing Sean Connery half-smile?
Exactly, without the money and the looks!
Love this and the photo too.
Thank you.
Foliage? Clearly an evergreen then.
Laughing. True That!
OK you’re forgiven – this is an amazing image and quite the clever remarks. However it is the image that is truly breathtaking.
Image is breathtaking, thanks Jenni

Ha! Foliage? Feel pity for the other person. “I turn my back and walk away” Man you have got a classy attitude. 🙂
Oh, not always Friend. Not always.
