Meeting in Space

It happens not often,
and some people may never
in a lifetime of comings and goings
know the mystery and thrill of it,

a clear, simple, direct look
between two strangers,
a chance meeting in space,
nothing physical, no touching,

no residue or evidence,
no record of any kind.

From the window of a city bus
I glanced at the construction site
at the exact same instance
a man with a huge moustache

looked up from his work
and met my eyes.
