Allergy
I remember some time ago, when I still know how to be "allergic" to names. Back when I still bothered to be. Now, it's just another name. Just another face. Just another shrug. Next!
Today, like every morning, I stopped at Planet for my anchoring triple shot grande latte to go. And I peered into the bowl. In lay, name card. One old allergic name I that used to be on my list. Right on top.
The hostility industry is a small one to be in. She's down the road. Just opposite Planet. And she's probably one of the many few sitting right here. But I didn't want to know which one. I didn't want to know. I hope I remain anonymous. (I doubt) The team here knows me too well, my coffee ready before I open my mouth for order. My greeting as I walk in the door. It's sooner or later, that she would know. I'm right there.
And I know she would choose not to react. She would choose to not know me. Because I did that with her. Who would want to come up to me and say, "Hey, I'm like an Alice in your life".
If she knows what's good for her, she will stay away from me.
And I won't stop going to Planet, my Planet, the same one I've been going to for the last 5 years, just because she goes there too. Just because we share a Planet. Just because her name card is there. Just because she's right opposite, so am I.
Plus, I couldn't be bothered. She's just another one. I just don't know if she knows that too.
