I may be getting older
or not as prey
to technologically induced myopathy
as some of my fellow citizens-
I still value propriety,
space,
and privacy-
expect a certain polite distance
when waiting in line
at Mariano's
or when selecting seats
at the movie theater.
I do not force
my inane blather
or irksome eccentricities
on strangers.
Public is a common space
for a quiet, calm, and reserved face.
Private. Well. Do what ever it is you like.
I'll not impune on you
and simply ask the same in kind.
