"How are you?", went someone today.
For a split second I didn't understand what that meant. The phrase sounded so alien and unfamiliar, the meaning divorced from the lips shaped to form that question.
Does that question demand an honest answer? Is the question asked to satisfy the person's voyeuristic interest? or is it just something to fill the space of silence?
I wish it was the first, think it was the second, but know it's probably the third.
