when you don't like someone

when you don't like someone
for no reason
just something
instinctual, their smell, the tone of their voice,
how they stand, even at a distance
but the dislike settles
in, uninvited,
unwelcome.
and we fight against it
inside our heads
talk never works
the best is to hope that your big
smile reaches into both of you
so maybe you can like them
just a little bit
more.
