For the hello contest

HELLO "Hello." "What do you mean?" "What do you mean 'what do you mean'?" "You said 'hello'." "O---kay..." "Was it just an emotionless greeting, For an unarranged accidental meeting? Were expressions or gestures involved? Was something questioned now resolved? Did you look me soulfully in the eyes, Or secretly undress me with your eyes? Do you think we were here by fate, or choice? Was there something suggestive in your voice? Did you say hello with playful alluring guile? Did your eyes, dimples and lips all smile? Did your hello contain some hidden laughter, Or suggest YOU AND ME forever after? Was that hello, I'll see you now and then, Or hello (goodbye!) never again?" "I don't know. It was just hello." "Hmmmm." I said, rubbing my chin. "Hello!" 14 Jan. 2019
