Franks Psychiatry 4 #41: kick starting the morning

Frank Prem

it was over before it started

 

I'd never seen this guy before
not to say hello to
not to medicate
not to upset

 

no interactions

 

and I wasn't close to him
three or four feet away
not even looking at him

 

but he said hello
in his own special way

 

my colleague told me it was nothing
and she was right

 

she said it's just how
he announces himself
and I could see that was true too

 

she said he'd never intended
to make contact
and I had to agree

 

he'd missed me
after all

 

but she couldn't quite convince me
that the kick he straightened out
just above my shoulder
an inch or two from my jaw
before turning around and walking off
was the right way to say

 

good morning

      Not your every day Good Morning, but all good in the end.

      Frank,
      That was some good morning! I guess he wanted to make sure you’d remember him!

        Marking his territory, I think, Laura.
