I learned a valuable lesson
Walking on the street,
Just now.
The best way to get a free
High-five from a complete stranger
Is to wear a shirt that says,
“Pizza is the Best,”
While his shirt must say,
“Eat Pizza.”
Even though you will not
Exchange any words
Both of you will extend hands
Slapping them in the sound
Of sweet understanding.
Because
That really did just happen
A few minutes
Ago.
D.H. Lee
