The Boxer Rebellion

George has joined the Boxer Rebellion.

It happens to every man who hits 40, and

 looks                 ||                 and

       in                 ||                 sees

    the                 ||                 his

     mirror                 ||                 father.

Last week at the Club,

        George removed his trousers in the locker room

        with the brazenness of a 4th street stripper,

        proudly displaying his designer Jockeys

        like a polyester transplant.

George doesn't see his father in the mirror anymore.
