Spending Days with Others’ Interests
--
I enjoy being up-to-date
on what goes on in sports
(including e-sports),
what’s been posted on Reddit,
what new video and PC games
are coming out, who the popular
streamers are on Twitch,
about the books that my brother
has read, what new films are coming
out, and viewing new videos
about daily life and conflicts
between wild animals
in some parts of Africa
and in the southeastern coast
of the US. My brother and I
have very different interests
from each other.
We engage in at least one
great conversation every weekend.
I admit that I don’t mind seeing him
play Kovaak, Counterstrike,
Quake, Skyrim and so on.
I love learning about interests
that I don’t know much about.
I mostly listen to my brother talk
about what he follows and likes
to do, prompting him to speak
more. I also don’t mind
asking my father about his senior
citizen friends. It’s a delight
for my father to bring home
food made by his friends
at least a few times a week
and to sit by him briefly
while he watches horse-racing.
