This morning I was walking Arlo. Sun on my face and a happy puppy on the lead. Just ahead, was a very shiny white lexus midsized SUV waiting to turn down the street I was crossing. As I continued on and the driver began to turn, I caught sight of her. She looked very much like you. My heart sank with longing. Her hair style, the big sunglasses, her arms, hands, motion. It was all you. Beautifully you. I projected this onto an unsuspecting passerby, and wished with all I am that she was you looking for me. I smiled at her. I smiled like it was all true. I smiled like she was you. I smiled like the smile would be returned with love. I smiled with hope I knew was hopeless. I smiled though I knew my wish would never come true. I smiled like this crumb might sustain me. I held my breath, then let it go slowly. I pet Arlo’s head and we walked on toward home.
