keystroke

i asked
a type friend today
what the difference between
mandate and dictate might be
is this a joke? she responded
but what she meant to say
was
all the difference in the world

sometimes
while waiting for a reply
i will see the i nd ivid u a l characters come alive
gyrating like a hula girl on the dash
driving down that specific superhighway

but that's just my impatience
to ask
when i full know that to find out
means all the difference in the world.
