Vintage Sherry: Tan

There was an old man dressed in tan
I saw him waiting on the island
Outside my car window

He looked like a short, balding, hunchbacked
Janitor in his tan button shirt and slacks

Sun-baked mud tan

He was just waiting to cross the street
Lost among the flashy cars of the young
