we keep our thoughts to ourselves
we do not appear too eager
not even when everyone else
is bantering a mile a minute
we don’t send emails too frequently nor
remember what the other is reading
we are grownups
we take showers twice a week
eat carrot sticks with our crisps
floss every night
we brake for squirrels
apply sunscreen several times a day
plan our actions before they occur
we know what we need to get done
on Saturday and on Sunday
we are grownups
we can make the future
less so, the past
