    I walk around  alone in the shopping center. I

smile at a stranger

they don't even notice,You say hi,

they walk on by......when did people all die?

go to a small coffee shop,

Enjoy a dark roast. take in

the warmth of the cup.

pick up the paper, read the head lines!

more about the war

another shooting in a school, lines the paper.

Possible snow tomorrow.

did you really want to know.?  An supervisor at your job

asked you how you are & why your low.

remember to smile and compliment them,

they really don't want to know.

  don't be honest ,

our your unemployed.

        isn't it a shamed! no one wants

to know your name

you must... play the game!  Its all the same.
