New poem: ONE SMALL STEP

I took a compliment today
instead of returning it
like an undersized sweater
>
resisted the temptation to say:
glad you liked my poem
but so-and-so wouldn't
>
instead, I drank the glass filled with accolade
it tasted like the purest water
>
enabling me to relax
and enjoy the rest of the day
without allowing so-and-so
to be a phantom companion
uttering hypothetical negativities,
causing me no end of worry
