name.

I wrote your name in wet cement.
a man yelled at me
and told me I ruined his hard work
and he fixed what I did
that's when I yelled back
and told him he ruined my hard work.
he was not happy with me
I was not happy with him
we were at a standoff.
I politely asked him why it mattered
he could not answer
he shrugged his shoulders and smiled
so I wrote your name a second time
he stood there and watched me
then wrote a name of his own
and smiled
now our standoff was an understanding.
