All our lives, we are told to leave rooms better than we found them.

At least that’s what I’ve been told.

        But it struck me today:
                      What about people?
                      We are so concerned over
                          how much trash we threw away,
                            how straight the chairs are,
                            memorizing its state before we enter.

If only we put that care into people;

   what do we memorize in the stranger?

                 Do we care if we ruin their day?
                 (Hint: if we can ruin it, we can make it)

Let the individual know they can change the world.
          All it really every took was one.
