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

Wow! I am glad that the kick missed.
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.
