Catch

He does this thing, Andrew,

- statistically different from me and you.

Shouting! Not to make you jump

- but simply for exuberance.

He looks you in the eye, expressing

excitement for any flash

of theatre, a piece of toast, a ray of sun.

Like, always it’s a Xmas or birth day

present moment

and, every time, a bead

of juice leaps from his heart

- into yours.

But only if you’re thirsty

and ready to catch.
