Being More

“Hello?” Forgetting to check my caller id.
“You look very beautiful today.”
“Who is this?” Before remembering that I have caller id. I stopped what I was doing and sat at the bench the bags that I was carrying were starting to get heavy.
“I see that you really like to go shopping. Those bags must be getting heavy for you to have to stop when there are so many sales going on. You really like to read that much?”
I began to answer the questions before realizing that there is no way that I would be at the mall on a regular day. I wasn’t a big shopper. “How did you know that I have a lot of bag or that I’m at the mall shopping, Tai?”
“I see that you had to check to see who you were talking too on the phone. I could tell you a lot of things; I know you have a big Borders bag and that you are sitting in front of a bed store.”
I looked around to see that I really was sitting in front of a bed store. I blow a kiss out in to the open.
“I hope that kiss was for me.”
“Where are you?” As I began to look around.
