stranger

"just when we thought it was safe to go back in the water..."

Stranger

 

how curious that we have met

when we have

over something as innocuous

as a comment on a poem

and find a kinship

...a congruent affection

that we might have missed

if we had been a step ahead

...or behind

I don't know you yet

but I am certain

...I want to

I want to know what you like

and don't

what you'll do

or won't

what colors you

love...and why

what beauties you have seen

and want to see again

what music moves you to tears

what excites you...as it nears

24 hours ago you were a stranger

...totally unknown to me

and now?

I want to know

...everything
