waiting cause' i was able to, i mean i'm fully capable of cooking - it's an art form after all but that's the dilemma - able, and capable strikingly similar but so very different, yet "chained" yet I stood there, arms crossed, not in defense but rather a comfortable position. & an elderly man, lumbering gait with vitiligo running from his feet cause gravity planted character, was greater than his immunity - comes up to me, "are you the owner" (in a delicate tone) "no I said politely" - with an apologetic glance perhaps it's the bald, iridescence glow of my crossed arms & defensive double helix arms - but that's just not my DNA yet his was on full display wrapped in plastics bags & aged hands so he must have saw beyond this physical type with penetrating microscopy & asked me to purchase: fish crackers, cracklings, or some fried goodness - identifiable soul food, but I didn't want to buy & waste. thanking , & apologetically declining he moved on, but I continued to wait for my "take-out" order (thinking to myself in arrangements of medical signs & symptoms what was he suffering, systemic, was it chronic?) yet the shift in mentality I try to practice became objective that moment, when I remembered one of my character pivots, to not comment on a blue box mac & cheese, appreciating time not directed by the box. minute hands later, receipt paid, and change received all the change I had, in lieu consciously with rouleau mirrored gestures flattered just as the metal recoiled it's sound to the table he grabbed my hand, care tinted to my skin & face as if to push pin my able memory, that holding is the difference with capability © (AGDP) 2009-2016.
