It Might Be You

do I know you? 
are we close and I just don't know it?
or are you just a kid I walked by in a airport,
or the supermarket, were you buying 7up?
or in the liquor store; your dad had to buy something for a dinner party
and you looked back at me through the ugly plate glass window 
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?

    leaving the heart

    she takes the stairs, 

    her heels click clacking down the hardwood steps. 

    she turns the tarnished silver doorknob, 

    and the door creaks open. 

     

    before her sits a man.

    too far to hold

    I catch a glimpse. 

    from afar, 

    the shine of his silky hair in the golden sunlight

    his expression unreadable, 

    as if he's pondering something he'd never tell a soul.

    watching him

    Kathy watched out her window as Samuel left his apartment, 

    spit his gum on the ground

    and lit his cigarette. 

    the same as yesterday. 

    the same as every day.
