I have a new friend
In the morning
I walk south
She walks north
In the afternoon
She walks south
I walk north
Lone pedestrians
On the trail
It started with a nod
Then
A nod and a smile
A nod a smile a wave
Bigger smiles
A “hi”
A “hello”
A “good morning”
She has dimples like my sister
And a nice smile
We walk the same pace
We don’t know each other’s name
We never may
She brushes the seed heads
Of the tall grass lining the path
With her right hand
Just
Like
I
Do
Then I like her.
