i shared a moment

with a woman

i didn’t know

at the bookstore

her and i

both browsing

as jazz music

played (no joke)

a little fast

and her and i

in this tight

little alley

between bookshelves

i wondering

if she’s interested

in the same stuff

and her wondering

i wish i knew what

and i stepped out

to write this

and she left

and it was over
