Walk into a room of strangers

turn, look at each other

what happened to confidence

or

how is she so happy

maybe

where did he go so quickly

then

ice-breakers force you to talk

to each other

to them

remember what you said about

them

yesterday when they were away

and now today

we are standing next to each other

together

realizing that every one of us has an agenda

some show it openly

others wait

a look

a smile

a direct glare

many eyes

many faces

all together now

what happens tomorrow

when this conversation has ended?

how will we know what to say

when we gather again?

Next time.
