Quiet Share at the Trough

Speed

Bodies leaned toward the trough like a sentence with no commas.

Spike stepped half a pace back and made room with his body.

Suzy matched soft eye and left a gap for the nervous drinkers.

Quiet share is care you can see without a speech.

Adventure Cap wanted to push first. Care said wait is also a job.

Thinking Cap habit: notice, leave space, finish soft. Cap does not invent more water by magic.

A shy sheep slipped in when the gap appeared and drank without hurry.

Little Thunder kept mahogany distance from splash politics.

Kids: if a drink fountain is crowded, leave a turn for someone smaller.

Care makes room. Lead finishes without a shove.

Tools remind. Bodies still choose the space.

Quiet share. Soft wait. Kind finish.

Leave room. Soft share.
