Umm hello
I’m saying hi
Perhaps this smile
Hides what’s behind
I have no friends
So I pretend
With these scheduled stops
Amidst your disinterested coughs
I have been thinking quietly
Leaning over this counter
Perhaps by forcing -hello- my anxiety
I will once again re-enter society
But no, I can see
I’m not blind if you can believe
You’re enormously annoyed
But, if you play along with this ploy
Perhaps…
Perhaps, I will be happy
So haha!
Let me begin again
And I will pretend
That you have become my friend
