Propinquity

There we sit,
side by side
again and again.
You in black,
I perpetually in vivid red,
slightly aslant
to your perfect
upright.

How is it
that we could meet
time and again,
liking the same things
not only so often,
but also with
such perfect timing
that it places us
side by side–

united so often
in proximity
and preference
in this cyber world,
when we will never meet
in the other.

Don’t worry, Mark–I’m not about to turn stalker.  I’m just continually amazed at how often you view a blog just before I do.  We must be on the same erratic schedule.

About lifelessons

My blog, which started out to be about overcoming grief, quickly grew into a blog about celebrating life. I post daily: poems, photographs, essays or stories. I've lived in countries all around the globe but have finally come to rest in Mexico, where I've lived since 2001. My books may be found on Amazon in Kindle and print format, my art in local Ajijic galleries. Hope to see you at my blog.

      Does that ever happen to you, Roger? Do you continually wind up next to the same person? It’s like that guy with the same last initial that I sat behind all the way through jr. high and high school.

      Perhaps I should have put the screen shot first, but people are so accustomed to seeing it at the end of a post, I was afraid they’d skip the poem. Yeah, it’s necessary to understand the poem.

      Ha! So I’m not the only one. The thing is that I come on at different times of the day…not one set time; but time and again he has just “liked” what I am about to like. Perhaps he has cloned himself and has some sort of blog tracking device? Just kidding, Mark, if you are reading this!
