Kicking Ass and Taking Names – Another Mildly Creative Poem

While you were busy kicking ass,
I was settling mine
into a chair
to take notice
of a flock of geese
and the way the sun reflected
off the drops of dew
and the tops of houses.

While you were busy taking names,
I was looking into someone’s eyes
and listening
to their words
in some attempt
to understand.

For all the asses you’ve kicked
and all the names you’ve taken,
I’ve built up an equal portion
of hands held,
stories told,
cheeks caressed,
and laughter shared.

Maybe someday
when you’re through kicking and taking,
you’ll find the time
to come and visit
and tell me who you are.
