8 may

not a score card exactly but
some moments should be more recognized
some people who just get, who join
who expand the experience
  
   plus
   late group man also drifting
   up to board

   plus
   hat box lady returning
   from the derby waiting
   in no group to see off
   her rangy beau

   plus
   toddler niece pealing laughter pearls
   at recognition
   onscreen over distance

   plus
   tall dark man
   following out of the parking garage
   then chats about the challenges
   of crossing the street
   melting fear

subtraction yes or low scores too
must be forgiven perhaps for
not knowing, but come on
do your parts please

minus - stiff front desk receptionists without humor
minus - wrong order providers when this pretzel is my dinner
minus - patronizing, anyone: try again please
