we’re not as smooth as we look
we all have edges
things that stick out
poke
catch on things
irritate some
comfort others

things we say
things we wear
habits
mannerisms
attitudes
values and beliefs

differences that make us unique
contrasts that are minor conflicts
or sometimes consolations

edges that make us human
special
odd
memorable
yes, even unforgettable

and yet
from a distance
viewing someone walking towards you
you might have no idea how the approaching encounter
how those edges

could change your life
