Loosen up.

Sacrifice the window seat. Listen to somebody else’s kind of music through a long journey. Fight sleep for someone’s idle babble. Stay still when somebody sleeps on your shoulder. Follow, don’t lead. Wait for the next bus to come. Lend. Give away the last sip of water. Let someone buy their lunch first. Have the poor guy keep the change. Deign to acknowledge a junior’s presence. Take photographs, don't fight for space in them. Let your contemporary have the attention all evening. Make place for others during the morning run. Go out with even those who don’t make great company. Pay the bill. Get someone else to give the directions. Let the one next to you sleep for half an hour more. Part with your Marquez.
