Today when I left the house
I left the door unlocked.
I was late and had promised
to meet a friend.
I don’t normally go to these things
but being at loose ends
basically having been abandoned to my own devices
feeling somewhat left out,
I needed something to do.
Well, I made a friend today
That doesn’t happen every day you know
It’s actually rather rare.
It started with a question
and developed into a conversation
gradually at first
then accelerating
Like a sugar cube disappears in tea
Why don’t you meet us later
we’re having lunch.
And she came
and we talked.
Sometimes it happens
just like that.
