On Whether or Not To Wave
November 15, 2018
If I see someone I know
I will wave.
I don't understand the
rule of this seemingly
friendly phenomenon.
If you are a cute guy
who I know
and have spoken to
at least twice,
I
will
wave.
Despite your
weird thing
where me
being friendly
makes you uncomfortable,
I will smile and pretend
for a moment that
you can see me.
That you recognize my
smile, the novel in
my hand.
I try not to
be awkward.
But my hand
goes up.
It moves.
And surprise,
this time,
you actually
wave back.

I consider myself friendly and other people don't wave at me when I do to them, and this is me wondering why.
