Ponytail

That man has a frayed ponytail
Do I know him?
He has a truck with stickers on the back
How about now?
He leans heavy into the steering wheel
Letting a car in with the flick of two fingers
And now?
Politics and Netflix history
Would those help?
And if I knew his name or his address
Would I know him then?
