I like people
Who drink coffee
And think...forever
Who muse and kibbitz and let it all hang out
Like hair spilling from a ponytail holder
Who splash eachother playfully
Because we're all still 6
In some ways.
People who cry at movies
Who are borderline appropriate
Aren't afraid to put the cards one the table
Exposing their hand
Transparent and precocious
Unafraid
Of their DNA
Alive in every way.
Those who limp with joy
When they can't jump
The awkward who laughs at their moments
Of human ness.
The ones with the opinions
They give away like roses
Fragrant and thorny
Handle with care
Watch your nose
Uncover your ears
I love the ones who enter a room
Loud and clear.
The apologetic
When needed
I like the ones who are different colors
Painting the rainbow
Humanity is a tie dyed t shirt
You are a swirl.
Circle the earth.
