Hello

I found this poem in my Moleskine while waiting at a coffee shop for a friend. I must have written it in the first half of last year. I thought it was kind of funny, so I’m posting it.

“Hello”
You’re just as pretty as before
The sun is shining on your blouse
And I’m struggling to find the nerve to speak

“Hello back”
I somehow manage to stammer out
Still trying to recall
My excuse for what I’m doing here
