To the person who wrote me a message,
and is trying to figure out what to say.
To start a conversation out of nothing,
you must start with something
That’s witty or funny or shocking or
smart, just please don’t ask about my day!
Such dull and mundane monotony, allows
for no excitement or expression of nuance.
Would I rather be a a dolphin or a horse
or porcupine? however, and you might be luckier with a response.
How I've been or how I feel doesn't
really start a conversation.
Try asking me what I would do if I won
the lottery or if I believe in reincarnation.
Ask what I would choose if I could only watch
one movie or if I had to move to another country.
Do I play the stocks and would I ever
buy into a foreign market like Suntory?
Ask me what celebrity I would like to
have lunch with, or if I’ve ever ridden The Metro or BART.
And if I could turn back time and
restart my life at what age I would want to restart.
Ask me at what age I had my first crush,
my first kiss or what my first vehicle was.
And have I ever wondered just how
exactly a belly button collects fuzz?
Am I allergic to pine nuts or cats or
pollen, do I swell up when stung by a bee?
or if I could have been born in another
century would I choose to be royalty?
Ask me if the music I listen to as a
teen is the same stuff I listen to today,
Do I believe that religion is how people
should live, or I do think another way.
If I could do a guest appearance on any
TV show which one I would I want to do.
Ask if I’ve ever dyed or spiked my hair or
who I would donate a kidney to.
Would I ever sign up for a reality show or
if I take road trips without a destination.
If I’ve ever eaten snake or goat or
perhaps if I prefer Italian food, Mexican or Asian.
Do I think that unicorns and fairies are
real or do I shun them in favor of science and logic?
Have I been to a Comic Con, or a gun
show, and if I lose my keys do I know how to lock pick?
Do I have a Bucket list full of fun
goals we could possibly check off together?
Am I afraid of lighting or love the
beach and what is my favorite season and weather.
Do I have any siblings I used to tease,
or was I the one who got picked on.
Am I passionate about politics or
charities or consider myself a humanitarian?
Do I run Iron-mans, do mud runs or stay
home and knit and never take hikes in the dark,
Ask if I volunteer in magic shows, go
sky diving or would I swim with a shark
If I've ever performed standup comedy,
wanted to be in movies or on the stage in a play,
But for the love of god, PLEASE…! Don't
ask me "How was your day?"
