INTERVIEW WITH A TRAIN PASSENGER WHO ELECTS TO ELEVATE HIS HAND FOR THE DURATION OF THE RIDE.

To establish a system of perpetual greeting. (“Halloo.”)

To ready the self, in the event of, a request for, a series of high-fives.

To stretch and otherwise limber a percentage of sinew & gristle.

To challenge the blood, climbing like a warm vine, toward the fingers.

To assess the body’s capacity for persevering through numbing dearth.

To hail a taxicab from the speedy seat of another conveyance.

To audition for the position of question-asker emeritus.

To attract the attention of those whose foreheads lapse easily into wrinkles.

To offset years of conducting this maneuver with the other hand.

To practice the fond embrace of a taller chum on the shoulder of a seat.

To perform a sedentary, one arm, no leg, no torso, nothing further, jumping jack.

To raise awareness of people who forget the purposes of their gestures.

To salute the landscape as it vanishes according to established principles.

To receive the world & be received. To be human in silhouette.
