a small piece of yourself

a smile crosses my face
when i receive rude gestures
on the freeway while driving
the speed limit

i have to laugh when i
get a weird look for
holding the door open
for someone

i wink at their sneers
for smiling at strangers

it's a good chuckle when
you've paid for someone's
drink in the drive through
and their mouth is agape

it's odd to see their expression
when i turn down my radio
at the stop light

i find it strange to get
honked at while waiting for
a pedestrian at
the crosswalk

i love the way their eyes narrow
when i walk up and introduce myself
to the new neighbors
and offer a hand to help them
move their boxes into their new home

it's an odd feeling when you
let the person with one item go
ahead of you in line at
the grocery store

it's a weird sensation
when you spread open
your chest for someone
and they gasp at how much blood
there is on the inside
