 2 people on a day in 2023

 

2 people.

A homeless Aboriginal lady

(maybe not so homeless?

Maybe just checkin out the scene from the ground)

Smiled at me on the street.

We talked

We shared a story we’d both seen 5 minutes apart,

And parted with a giggle of joy.

A young Asian-Aussie girl in a shop

Gave me her time and labour

For no extra charge

To help me design something

I’d been unable to.

We also parted with a happy giggle.

Human kindnesses took me unaware.

There are a lot of such people

Such actions.

They go under the radar.
