salutations and wishful thinking
begin a force
surrounded by small talk
infused with stories
filled with fluff
based on accusations
for the fiction
tied to trash
didn’t bode well
for a letter
of pretense inquiries
based on false concern
try again
begin greetings
followed by
genuine interest
in activities experienced
day in and day out
infused with
antidotes of laughter
enabling emotions
only happiness brought
to the sole reader
ending with
stuff, events we live
requiring many
moreĀ moments
of you around
