Free chocolate chip pancakes

I asked you to come downstairs and share pancakes with me

and you did. You are so obliging.

No. Scratch that. You are so kind.

Not just to me, either,

(maybe I hate to say I may have felt: unfortunately)

but to all the creatures of the universe.

(Except behind the backs of corporate CEOS and anyone who rapes and pillages the land and its peoples).

Your roommate is from Japan and you ask him how his day was because you genuinely care to know.

I could forgive you for almost anything.
