What’s Up

What’s up
He asks
What should I reply?
The sky?
People inquire how are you
Everytime they meet
They want to know how I am
And I agree that is sweet.
But fine is
A small word to define
How I actually feel
How do I tell them that I have aches and pains
Lots of worries and a pair of swollen feet.
My friends ask me what’s happening
And I don’t know what to say.
For this is not a blockbuster movie
Where something earthshattering will happen every day.
These questions should be banned or made obsolete
To put an end to the answers that I repeat.
Instead if you really wanna know how I am or what I do,
Just have a heart felt conversation where both of us talk…
Just me and just you….
