Hello is the word that
asks to start things off.
I'd like to be good to the
people I meet, as my father
always suggested as I was
headed out the door. Now
that he's gone, as they say,
I am even more committed
to the project. So, hello. Thank
you for being here for a few
minutes. Words are the
ultimate askers of questions,
and we are merely media
through which the language
passes. Life, death, middling,
each requests a little space
and time with proper
punctuation. I offer
you these words,
from one intermediary
to another.
