She called his name.
“Old Friend,” She said,
“Hello.” and rolled
Her shoulders back,
Cocked her head
Just as she had
When they were
Young love,
Sharing
Cookies,
A quick fuck
In the park
Behind the hedges,
The pleasure
Of kisses
In May
And future
Perfect
Possibilities.

His face turned
Toward the road.
She looked at pavement
'Till the bus departed
Her eyes burned
Hot and moist in the exhaust.
“I thought it was,”
And she knew.
