Do you have a minute?
Do you have a minute for the Earth?
Do you have a minute for the children?
Do you have a minute for gay marriage?
Yes, I do have a minute for all of those, but I know for a fact that once you stop me, you will keep me stranded on the sidewalk for more than 15 minutes. Asking me all the questions that I really do not wish to answer.
Like 90% of the pedestrians passing by you today, I have a minute to talk about world piece, the environment, the kids, the handicapped and the gays, but I am just gonna pass. A tiny needle goes through my skin everytime I yell back at you “no sorry” with an awkward smile. I desperately search for my phone to pretend I am busy before our eyes meet. Sometimes I am successful in pretending, but you have to know this the considerate, thoughtful, over-joyful and confident survey person, I most probably have a minute, but I will not be using it to answer your kind questions. Who knows maybe one day lightning might strike and I might just stop for a chat. Don’t get your hopes up though!
you, me, green peace and gay rights on 5th Avenue between 17th and 21st.
hahahahhah
