Emote Everywhere

The trick
Is simple

Fill up every space
The bedside table, office table
Fridge doors, calendars
Warehouses, supermarkets
Billboards
Trains, buses, planes
Parks, forests
Mountaintops

Any space
Where humans can reach
With something
That emotes
The human

Christmas movies
Elephants tears
Monogamous penguins
Marital vows
Mirror neurons
Birthdays, mothers days
Anniversaries
Funerals

Comment, chat
In teams, phones
Footpaths
Listen, nod
Take interest
In the interior life
Exterior appearance
Of another
Dogs, cats
Neighbours

Five days a week
Your entire adult life
Think about
Some project — someone else’s project
Even your own
To make money
House improvements
Exhaust the thinking
Be done
With thinking

All life long
For success
Security, world peace

In evenings, weekends
Holidays
Just be left

Have charities
Raise awareness
