Ode to the Stranger

We all have one

That stranger we see everyday

You’ve seen them at nearly the same place and the same time almost everyday for……

You’ve forgotten how long

Perhaps you’re on your way to work

Or riding your bike

Or taking your regular walk

You gesture, wave, maybe even smile slightly

You don’t know their name & they don’t know yours

But you could recognize their face as well as a good friends’

And you know you may never know their name

But you also know that it doesn’t matter

To either of you
