sidling
i don't remember the moment i first saw her but she does she tells me i was sidling down the pavement hands in my pockets dressed in black and in purple like i cared so much what she would think - as if i already knew - when idly my eyes swept the scene before me and i smiled she doesn't remember the moment she first saw me but in her sleep one day she said: “i dreamt you, lover, before i ever met you, and it's ever so sad, but i think i am dreaming again” when bleary she woke i asked if she remembered saying anything, i don't, she said, why do you ask, did i say something? don't worry about it, i said; but sometimes when i'm out walking through the rain or the wind idly my eyes sweeping the scene before me i have a strange sense that i know what she meant and i do not smile
