Agitation
I hate when people ask, “How is your day?”
when they don’t really care to know anyway.
They’re already poised with something else to say
So I respond with the usual answer “it’s ok”.
Empty conversations, polite platitudes,
What is meant to seem nice, to me, is just rude.
Why can’t we be honest and stop being so fake?
Would just saying nothing be such a mistake?
Or how about this, just flash a big grin
If I’m interested in talking, I might join in.
Let’s stop all this needless, faux conversation
‘cause all you’re creating is agitation.

I love this poem! I understand and I’m sure others too how this speaker feels. This is a very powerful poem and you did an excellent job creating it!
Heh….Thank You. Just my mood today I guess. full disclosure: I’m about 8 weeks post op from 4X Bypass surgery, so I get kind of irritated, especially when asked, “How ya doing today”….grrr….lol. Thanks for the comment though.
Genuine concern is always best, and yes for me anyway a smile is enough.
