gregarious

Got into a nice conversation 

With the butcher today. 

Nothing to do but cook. 

And eat. 

I spent an hour in the office today. 

Chatting up the recruiters 

Like I always do. 

Oil change and all that Jazz. 

Chatted up the salespeople

And was entertained

By a lively octogenarian 

Who was once a Hollywood actor. 

Watching an old movie 

about revenge and forgiveness. 

“Changing Lanes.”

Have you seen it?

Two guys get into a fight. 

Over a fender bender. 

They both fight their demons 

And come to terms with the situation 

And forgive each other. 

Soooo.....28 years ago 

 - to the day - to the minute - 

My life changed forever. 

Tuesday for Tuesday 

Repeats every 4 years.

I was told I was gregarious. 

I could handle anything. 

Most days - I’m not. 

I’m the opposite of gregarious. 

But today. Just For Today. 

Perhaps I am!
