friday afternoon
navigating carefully
senses heightened
on constant alert
always prepared
for an unforeseen encounter
they're scattered
all around town
like a living
breathing
moving
minefield
sighs of relief
as you enter a safe zone
and turn a corner
when out of nowhere
BAM
face-to-face with a coworker
muscles tense
heart sinks
mouth fakes a smile
as awkward small talk commences
and slowly drifts
to the one subject
you'd so desperately
tried to escape
work
and the week stretches on
into your precious weekend
