. At a grocery store You stand in a line Among the others The strangers You don't know Or care to know Calmly because You've been through it all And there is no fear And you think to yourself It's good to be strong To move At last With such final indifference Through lives That are but various ends And then someone A woman Slowly turns Sees you And warmly smiles With recognition and affection Remembering what's been forgotten If in fact It never was The street on which You played and dreamed together In a town you had thought Was completely lost . |

Yes indeed, Huan, these kind of things crop up every now and then. It is a good feeling usually when it does. . . . and the Raven said, %!~#&(&#!$! |

It's strange to meet someone from the "past we've been passed out of"---hasn't happened to this reader in quite a while. Good, inspired, and thoughtful poetry, imho, and thanks for the good read. |
