arrows at fat bellies, aloof faces,

loud mouths, weird haircuts,

the oddly walking and

strangely dressed

aren’t judgments the invisible

projectiles you find hard to stop

slinging at people?

but stop and get to know one,

talk, have a laugh, share the things

you have in common

and an easy target for ridicule

might turn into a lovable

and unique, hunk of fun
