Published in September, 2013 ~ Brian Miller was the  first comment ~ how time flies!

the boy:

math anxiety strikes
renders him helpless
squirming, he knows it's
proper etiquette to leave a tip
struggles to appear grown up
body language has betrayed him  
~ out of his element

the porter:

unable to halt the smile
spreading across his face
 he knows twenty years of saving tips 
put two sons through college
patient and compassionate
no need to prove himself 
~ at ease in his element
