you should not ask, you
should not
ask
how someone is doing
or feeling
or getting
along
or
anything vague or stilted or banal
ask what countries
they have seen,
ask what was their
favorite sunrise,
ask who they would
want to be stuck
on an
elevator
with,
ask what movies
made them fall
in love
with life,
ask what
philosopher
they would want to
meet for coffee,
ask them
what sport
makes them feel like they
could spin the world
backwards,
ask them something
that means something
but do not, for God's sake,
ask them
how they
are
doing.
