Choices Make You

while climbing the stairs
i see two

a good person
smiling at me
hug me with body
speak in a loud voice
"You are a precious person"

a smart guy
look at me and smile
with a motionless
Speak expressionlessly, barely audible
"good morning"

after reading the book
I think as I go down the stairs

who i need
who need me
who will i choose?

that is the problem.
