WHAT'S THIS?

From our respective ...


From our respective homes,

unplanned, we follow impulse,

change direction, change back,

each individually, my friend and I: 

so our paths cross in perfect timing. 

A sweet meeting, a joy.    We part

second thought — which means

I’m in perfect time then to encounter 

an old neighbour who’s moved,

whom I’d been wondering about:

another glad happening for both.
