The Limitations & Cycle Of ‘Sincerity’


Part 1:

It is amazing…
how a total stranger on the street
can be all smiles,
greeting you,
offering a hand to shake.

Then again,
it’s expected,
as she is just a salesperson
out to be nice,
only to solicit a sale from you.

Part 2:

It is amazing…
how the same ‘stranger’ on the street
drops all smiles,
doesn’t greet you again,
when you walk by again minutes later, after saying ‘No thanks’ earlier.

Then again,
it’s expected,
as she is just a salesperson
out to be nice,
only to solicit a sale from you.

Part 3:

It is amazing…
how the ‘no longer stranger’ on the street
can be all smiles again,
greeting you,
offering a hand to shake, a day later, because she had forgotten you.

Then again,
it’s expected,
as she is just a salesperson
out to be nice,
only to solicit a sale from you.

Part 4:

It is amazing…
how the same ‘stranger’ on the street
