Fantasy #6

Blaring annoucements.
Flight delayed long enough
for a body to get bored.
And then I saw him---
a man who looked like you
just a little,
and the head went into overdrive.
If it had been you,
what a meeting---
would you have dropped your case
from shock,
would I have been able to speak
with no time at all to prepare
for the moment
we had whsipered about
forever?
Would you have touched me---
said "Screw the connecting flight."
Would we believe that fate
had tossed us together like that,
and could either of us
possibly been strong enough
to walk away again
if this daydream came to be
by the whim of chance?
NO time for roses,
violins
and dammit all,
no time for fear,
just the gods tossing the dice
that we have held in our hands so long
and whispering, "So be it"
as we reached toward each other
in the middle of a crowd
that could not see
or understand
that a miracle has just happened.
