Who We Are

I am white monkey.
I am baby face.
I am big eyes.  
I am ghost teacher.

You are fingers reaching out 
to lightly press a freckle on my upper arm.
You are a palms brushing past
to tickle the hairs on my lower arm.

You are "HELLO!" 
followed by immediate giggling
indicative of a dare completed. 

You are 
"I'm fine, thank you. How are you?"
"I'm fine, thank you. How are you?"
"I'm fine, thank you. How are you?" 
You are stuck in reverse.

You are sparkling eyes 
of an elderly woman
responding to my respectful greeting
a nod
a bow
followed by one of the few
phrases I know.
