NPMC2012: 20 "Is it Me?

Well, let's see. The semester is tumbling to a close and people must just be getting crazy.

20: Is it Me?

Nice
amiably pleasant
kind
that's all
Well, not all
 I want to also be supportive
encouraging
nonjudgmental
objective
fair

that is all

and yet
how does it get misread
as more?
just because I answer your questions
or humor your joke
or respond quickly to emails
doesn't mean something special
it's not a secret code

Do I treat you nice?
Yes, I treat everyone the same way
why does it seem so much more to you
only to you?
