Taste Of Impression

Degrees of Separation

By Kelli Sheckler-AmsdenPublished 9 months ago 1 min read

What’s your degree of separation

Tell me what sets you apart

We all leave quite a first impression

Indelible marks upon a heart

A taste of how we go about living

Adding memories to the clock

Moments in time, until our endings

As subtle as leopards changing spots

The hour and the looking glass

Compete for how we play the game

No matter what, the time will pass

Does knowing change the way you play

    I've always wondered what type of impression I left on people. Generally, I hope it's a good one, although there are some people who I just don't care about..... Anyway, great as always, Kelli <3

  • Probably not. I just tend to play poorly regardless.
