"Say 'hello!'"
Can't do it.
I'll look the other way.
"Knock on the door!"
Suddenly tired.
I'll come back another day.
"Use the phone!"
Please, no.
Somebody might answer.
(This fear is becoming
a spiritual cancer.)
"Smile and nod!"
I can't.
My head will get stuck
in some awkward position
with my kind of luck.
"Do nothing and wait."
Ah, thank you!
I will.
(And here I sit,
petrified, waiting
still.)
