Hi, how are you?
you say "Hi, how are you?"
I say "I'm fine and how are you?" inside I may be dying you look but you are blind nothing unpleasant you wish to find it's a howdy do and we're though that gauntlet of the blue besides there's nothing you've time to do it's like a hello or goodbye we do it bye and bye we'll do it till we die a way to pass the passerby without engaging, so we lie "Hi, how are you?" "I'm fine and how are you?" it's just something that we do "we'll catch up another time" "oh yes, that would be fine" we both know we're lying If we didn't I might know you Written by Scott Schoffstall © January 25, 2011 all rights reserved http://www.poeticsojourn.com/the-sojourner.html |
