a day of being cheerful

despite
my sore
knee and back, i decide
to be
cheerful today.
i'm going to give it my
best shot.
i will say
hello to people, i'll wave,
and ask
how people are doing,
despite
not really caring
one way or the other.
i'll give way
on the road, letting people
pass and not
blow my horn
when the light turns
green. i'll be polite
and not
judgmental
about what's in people's
shopping cart,
or why
they wobble when
they walk
so slow.
i'm turning over a new
leaf,
for the new month.
let's see how long this
goes.
perhaps, i should stay home.
