A Bump In The Road

A Poem

This is a poem about two strangers bumping into each other.

I go right
you do the same

I go left,
still;
it happens again

We pause
for a bit
to look the other
in the eyes

A moment
to catch a glimpse

A moment
to decide,

We don’t say
any words

We each
pick a side

Yet
the results
are the same

We stand still
again
we both apologise

Our lips,
parting
to give a smile

Then again
it’s time;
to choose a path
to go by

But this time,
we talk
to each other

And we both choose
the right path.
