i saw you.
in the supermarket.
it's been almost 20 years since last time.
at first i just sensed someone nearby,
then some shadowy movement and kid's laughter,
the way you addressed your kid drew my attention.
that intonation, joyful and peculiar, it's you.
one thing in common, we both bought diapers;
i took a pack for my old man, you pushed a cart full of them for your lovely kid.
i didn't walk up to say hello, just let the memory surge over my mind.
Rumor has it that it's the end of the world.
we are survivors, after all.
best wishes for you and your family.
