28 january

i got there early tonight
ready to make an effort
to smile, to help where i am needed
to use resources wisely and every other part of the girl scout law
to turn out but not the vote just the way forward
there would be traffic and there was but still i planned for it
planned to be there despite no response to my rsvp
i am ready even if you are not and i can help with that
eagerness - very highly rated
dressed up shoes skirting the ice
no welcome sign but my own self-confidence
here i am and i am ready to help you maybe even make a sign

may i help you
asked the small woman uncertainly
unclear on what to do with the brimming promise of helpfulness i was prepared to offer
oh, she said
oh


you're a week early
