Not a People Person – A Poem by G. S. Katz

There I’ve said it
People like me, not so sure I can say the same
as a whole that is
there are exceptions of people I like
I suck at mingling
going from person to person
chit chat
I do it and each time I marvel
at my inability to do it well
Give me old fashioned one on one
Give me content and substance
Put me in a group and there’s a good chance I’ll drink to much
Or slip out the door quietly after showing my face
I wish it were different
But I can’t say it’s gonna change
Maybe I’ll be a dog in the next life
Where looking cute, sleeping and sniffing butts will be my only
requirements.
