are you having a good day?

did you go to church this morning?

a young man with glasses and a satchel

asked of me last Sunday

in the amber light of a parking garage

a fluid and friendly exchange

if slightly unexpected and strange

I answered it was an excellent day

and returned the question to him

I said of course I did, first thing

adding: “did you?”

he wanted to know what church

so I gave him this answer too

then we parted on the windy street

I to a film about Mary Oliver

he to the next one in line~
