says the poster

so now I'm at the door.

a ticket. a seat. a show.

a stage. a piano. a symphony. a solo.

for you

afterwards I sneak around the back

waiting for what feels like the entire night.

you appear.

hey.

hi. I wasn't expecting you.

I wasn't expecting you either.

how have you been?

good and you?

i've got a sold out show. i'm doing excellent.

yeah, when did you get that good?

about a year after you...

could we go get coffee?

You hesitate. I don't blame you. A figure from the past. Gone then. But I'm here now.

You sigh. But you give in. You're as curious as I am.

More small talk.

How did you get here? How did I get here?

Explain. Nod. Sip. Nibble. Smile. Comment. Congratulate.

It's late. You're famous. I'm busy.

We walk our seperate ways down the deserted streets.

I did all this to find you.

I lose you again.

No.

I won't.

I turn around and run

to find you doing the same.
