The man with the glass eye in Pin Pun Pizzeria

While a picture is said to speak a thousand words, words alone can invoke a thousand pictures.

This is a story about,
The man with the glass eye in Pin Pun Pizzeria.

He has a stolid glance,
and some people may look away but I am drawn to him.
He slices into his Muzza, at 33 pesos, with an elegance others in this pizzeria do not have.
Whilst he holds his knife and eats from his fork with his trembling hands; others use their hands.
He eats with finesse.
And his face is dignified -even if he does not know it - and the deep lines on his face hold a million stories.
His age, an unknown, the only certainty; how much he is enjoying his muzza.
He is the man with the glass eye in Pin Pun Pizzeria.
