We could do it first

'Thought' by Philip Dodson

We wait for the other person to say sorry, to say I love you, to be kind, to show interest, to pay us a compliment, to hold us, to love us…and on.

Why wait? We could do it first.

  1. I could have. I was in a market parking lot when an employee of the market was collecting shopping carts. She came right nex to my car. I was still loading groceries. She was a Black woman. My thought as she continued collecting the carts, “Black people don’t ever speak to each other”. Meaning I was expecting her to speak to me. As she walked away it dawned on me that I could have spoken to her. I could have spoken to her! That’s a life lesson for me, from me. And now from you. Thanks.
