Where are you? will you read this?
I dropped my frozen dinners
Chance
Our eyes met, mine are green
Chance, chance, chance, chance
I know I saw you there
Swarming like a dozen crushing blows
Said, "I'd read the ads, do you?
“You wanna ride the silent sky?”
My heart stopped
In bare feet
I wrote a story on the fly
You and your shopping, I looked up
Chance
Sunday walk, weaver's park
I never looked it up
I loaned you a phone quarter, said, "Good luck”
You helped pick them up
What did I see?
You'd had a peroxide thing
I said, “I hung the moon”
You at the last table
I'm on the northbound, you were asleep
You said, "Mighty cold today”
Than I can think
You in the tabletop
Wednesday grocery, corner of vine
Where the playgrounds meet
You were in the checkout line
Call now, look me up
You didn't like your daytime job
Will you read this? can I see?
I had had a soy dog
Swimming like a dozen crushing blows
Can I see?
A minute shy, a passing eye
I said, "I've had enough of the city”
You wanna be on fire
You never see what I think
Where are you now?
All those glances, midtime dances
I was on the lakeside
Chance, chance, chance, chance
I said, "Are you holding?”
I held a bag of apples
You were a camera, I dropped my keys
You with broken accent
This is surely moving faster
I was born to travel
Cafe Streetside, Tuesday bloom
All those midtime dances
Me and glasses, Saturday slump
You laughed, I worry
Thursday cab rush, our block
You hit the sidewalk talking
