Brief Encounter of the First Kind


By chance or design,
should you walk into
my view, shaking head
or fist, strolling leisurely,
stepping lively at a harried
pace, smile or frown
spread across your face,
chances are, should I not
be otherwise preoccupied,
I shall make a note visually,
mentally and write about
our brief encounter later,
within a day or sooner,
I reckon. Kind of like that
son-of-a-bitch who gave
me the middle finger while
I curiously watched him
as he passed me by.
That wasn’t you, was it?
