                        Strangers (Once Again)



                             I saw you
                             gazing at the frozen food.
                             I thought you saw me
                             reaching for a carton of eggs.

                             I thought
                             prehaps, you'd turn
                             and smile
                             (I loved your smile).

                             I considered saying something
                             but, what could I say
                             that I hadn't said
                             a thousand times before.

                             I remember
                             the first time I saw you
                             emerging naked from the sea,
                             water streaming from your hair --
                             Venus rising.

                             I was transfixed.
                             I am still transfixed.
                             Our carts pass in the aisle
                             moving on to other places --
                             strangers
                             (once again).
