How Was Your Summer?

“We live life in a masquerade.”

-          T.D. Jakes

How Was Your  Summer?

How was your summer you ask me?

The question I dread in the fall

If you really cared how my summer was

Where was your text or call?

You say this to fill conversation

To escape an awkward moment

These days we live like robots

Very few live with intention

I try to be polite, I smile

I know it’s not your fault

Life is worn with friendly masks

We live life on default

I give you a quick synopsis

You pretend to pay attention

Nod, smile, then wave goodbye

“Nice seeing you”, to break the tension

Thank you for your dishonesty

I knew you wanted to be polite

Next time wave, then be on your way

Choose authenticity over being nice
