the man was sitting 
on a too-small stool,
but when he said hello,
he didn't get up.
I enjoyed looking down on him.
He was wolfish but boyish,  
held his drink with two hands, and wore glasses,
and confessed he knew me, 
and that he was sorry.
I said, I don't know you.
And we smiled, relaxed. 
Holding a drink
in our own two hands,
and the path 
stretched in front of us forever.
