It never occurred to me
to look on the other side
of the street, into that car,
to inspect everyone on
the elevator, in the subway.
It never occurred to me
that I might find you finding
me and that we might be
wearing the same clothing,
have the same part in our hair.
It never occurred to me
that you hadn't occurred
to me and I may never
occur to you, but you
occurred to me today,
when I swore I saw Mitchell
driving someone else's car.
He was smiling at nothing,
then red light turned green.
