How Are You?

How are you?

She looks away,

shying away

From the

I don’t know…

I remember this ‘you’

Like last year’s snow.

She is running, running,

Her PR’s good… she says,

But I wasn’t asking about ‘her’,

I press,

I was asking about YOU.

I’m running too.

Running and hiding,

From this ‘you’ you’re asking

About…

I don’t know if the ‘you’ is still here,

I must have lost it in the atmosphere.

It must be buried in the atmosphere.

I don’t know who and how I really am,

But now I’m running every a.m.

But, I was asking not

What do you do?

But simple question,

How are you?

Oh please let me go,

I want to run,

I want to run with a crowd for fun,

I want to be a part of the race

A race where I get to lose my face

In the crowd,

For fun,

I want to run.

‘Til I am a blur

Against the setting sun.

Please don’t ask me

Again

‘How are you?”

Never again

About that you!

Please…

Don’t stop…

Asking…

Even though I’m running

Even though I’m hiding…

Never stop

Asking…

How are you?
