I was on the tram the other day and there were three people going around giving out chocolates.
Well Quality Streets.
And I remember because they were Nestle, and I was thinking if it would be wrong of me to accept one.

I decided I was going to.
I waited for them to come to me…
There was one person coming from each side.
I wondered who’d get to me first-
But most of all I wondered why they were giving them out-

Secretly I hoped that maybe they were part of Danny Wallace’s Karma Army.

I looked again to see which of the two men were nearing me.
One had stopped and was sitting talking to a couple about what he was doing.
I tried to hear but couldn’t.
So I waited for the other man to reach me.
I was looking forward to having a dialogue with him.
He got close…

Now I would get my answer which came with the words he spoke:
"Would you like a chocolate as a token of God’s love for you?"

-I took one and thanked him.
He walked away and I felt a bit disappointed.
There wasn’t really much dialogue, which I assume is why they were doing this.
Maybe it was my fault.
Maybe I should have said something.
…but I didn’t know what to say…

We arrived at the next tram stop and they got off.

Maybe that’s why he didn’t talk. Maybe he didn’t have the time because he'd be getting off in a minute.

I didn’t keep up with you.
I ignored you all summer...
…left you in the corner of my room all alone.

The only time I came to you was when I wanted something.
When I wanted you to look after something…
My photos.

And you did, without a word of complaint.
Thank you.

I have just been reading through this and filling in all the apostrophes I had left out. Though I’m not sure I should have. But for some reason today I found the lack of them annoying, though I never normally care.

In fact I’ve probably missed a lot of them…
Suppose to me it’s not that important.
But I kind of feel I have a duty to use them.
Especially after I watched that program about people that were so obsessed by the missing ones, they would go around and fill them in.

Good old apostrophe
