At the 'Bucks

 

He appeared to be not quite 20, 

sitting in one of the padded chairs

at the 'Bucks, 

java and bagged sandwich 

on the table

at his knees. 

He held a yellowed paperback

butterfly-wise with both hands, 

his lips moved. 

He paused every now and then 

to check his phone.

The book was about NFL football;

the wallpaper on the phone was about the same.
