i saw

across the street

in an apartment

which normally

has its shades drawn

two friends

sitting at a table

talking

then two more friends

opened the front door

and came in through

the long hallway

and the friends

at the table

raised their arms

and the friends

coming in

raised their arms too

and all embraced

and it made me happy

as i had just gotten home

and stood

in my own apartment

alone
