(grocery shopping)
Before me a sea
of fruits and
veggies…
and tended grocery
carts
Between mustard
greens
and the fresh
string beans
I see an old friend
of mine
We are most likely
to cross paths and
meet
if I thread my way
towards her.
Just the two of us
amid the shopping chaos--
making a chance
encounter--
I hurry a bit
so as not to miss
smiling all the
way.
An instant before impact
we spy and react
Bump, shock, “Hi!”
Not as expected:
delight
un-reflected--
Just a “hi-how-are-you?”
I sigh, “fine-and-you?”
So embarrassed.
I roll on towards
potatoes.
our every movement planned
