So.. I had the encounter today… Sitting in the booth.. chatting over scrambled eggs and coffee… I caught a glance of someone walking past, looking up.. I was caught in the stare of him… I swear my heart stopped, I prayed for him to keep walking… I swore for him to keep walking… I was caught off guard, not on my own terms… He kept walking.. I let out the breath I didn’t know I was holding…
so we go from year to year
with secrets we’ve been
keeping
Though you say you’re
not a Templar man
Seems as if we’re
circling for very
different reasons
But one day the Eagle
has to land
Out past the fountain
a left by the station
I start the day
in the usual way
Then think
– well why not —
and stop for a coffee
then begin to recall
things that you say
No one’s at the door
You suggest a ghost
perhaps a phantom
I agree with this in part
Something is with us
I can’t put my
finger on –
is Thumbalina size 10
on a Wednesday —
Out past the fountain
a left by the station
I start the day
in the usual way
Then think — well why not —
and stop for a coffee
then begin to recall
things that you say
Pluck up the courage
and snap it’s gone again
I start humming “When Doves
Cry”
Can someone help me
I think that I’m
Lost here
Lost in a place
called
America
