Reasonable
How are you
The usual question
Initiating a transaction
Indifferent interaction
Pro forma
With no actual
Interest or
Commitment
Reasonable
My usual response
Most often
Business continues
Its indifferent pace
Unabated
Bored and generic
Drudgery
Day to day
Working stiffs
Task completed
Have a nice day
Or the quicker version
Have a good one
Now and then
Startled or
Amused response
Reasonable
What does that mean
Brief encounter
Human interaction
Not the robotic
Just for a moment
Mundane
Ratcheted up
A notch
To which I respond
Y'all come back
Yah hear
Leaving behind
Silver bullet
Who was that
Masked man
At Big Y
Not
