Say Hello

Say Hello

                                  I walked the streets today,
                                           past rows of
                                   shuttered people hiding
                                         in their houses.

                                        Those still asleep
                                          or just afraid...
                                       to pull their blinds
                                         to meet the day, 
                                       or greet a stranger's
                                                face.

                                        Faces aren't bad,
                                            you know, 
                                        just to say hello.
