It Might Be You

while you mindlessly grabbed a lollipop from the bowl they had at the counter. 
I think you got pineapple.
and then I walked away, carrying the groceries. 
maybe our paths will cross again
will I even recognise it when they do?

    in their hands are drinks

    martinis and manhattans 

    with glistening ice cubes inside their glasses
