Introvert Poem #2

They say when you

.                                    meet

someone you’re supposed to say

their name three times

.                                           (one, two, three)

like summoning the spirit

of Emily Post

but work it in

.                           naturally

.                 somehow

But I frankly I have

.       enough

.       to do

with remembering to

speak

introduce myself

not overshare some awful story

set off on a tangent

.                                    and get lost

So maybe we can just

.          remind

each other?

About Caitlin Stern

I have a MA in English, and have so many fantasy/urban fantasy WIPs it's not even funny. I'm an avid reader of science fiction, fantasy, mystery, romance, biography, fiction, and anything else that catches my interest. I collect books, and bookmarks I find that are visually appealing and useful.
