This Is Not Me

I feel like someone different today. I stand taller-

feel  healthy, like everything is aligned and right
in my world.I meet people head on, smile as I pass.
There’s something grand going on. I'm sure it’s self assurance.
But how could that be? 

It's not what I wear, I am in tennis shoes

and a comfortable t-shirt and slacks.  I look normal,
I look like me, but I feel a confidence I can't explain,
an assurance I've rarely felt. I left a message for Bill,

told him about my spectacular day. I waited there

in the shop while my car was serviced, I read ads,
checked my messages, nothing different  to note,
Just mundane tasks I’m forced to do on an ordinary day.

I want to capture the feel of this though, research, find

where it comes from and how I can plug in again. No
extraordinary events to note though, no answers come.
This feeling just came on the wind and I suppose it will

leave the same way. I go to the mall

to eat at the Cheesecake Factory to savor this moment
along with my favorite Shephard’s Pie.I  sit in
the  outdoor café, mild cool breeze blows over the sun

baked iron work café tables. Then I order

a veggie burger and a glass of ice cold water.
Now it's official. This is NOT me today.
