Frost

i stare at her
she stares back
we're both standing
in the poetry section
of a part book part cafe store
i grab for neruda
she grabs for dickinson
but then by the end
of our ackward dance
we both end up
grabbing for Frost
and suddenly we are
at crossroads
we can talk to one another
maybe start a great conversation
which will lead to the question
of continuing it some other time
we could go down that road
but i look at her
and she looks at me
and we both look at Frost
and we both just suddenly understand
and we walk away not saying a word
perhaps some day we will meet again
in another part book part cafe store
at 10pm on a Tuesday night
with nothing better to do
and all this time apart
would have made all of
the difference
