What I Need from You

Hey, Omar, my bartender:
Share with me your wisdom.

Hey, Isabel, assembling my burger:
What has life taught you?

Hey, Muhammad, my cabbie:
What of your former life
might illuminate mine?

Hey, boss:
If you were to mentor me,
what guidance would you offer?

Every one of you:
What you know,
I need.
