a dog accompanied the boy.
a scarf adorned the girl's neck.
he saw her face;
she did not see his.
two silhouettes under dim street lights
walking/biking together
hands busy with exercise and knowledge-
empty of another's grasp.
separated at the corner
never again to see the other's shadow.
the boy with the bike and the girl with the book
the dog that should've tugged at her scarf
so that the boy would fall over his bike
running to apologize to the girl
whose shadow he could see another time
perhaps under daylight
at a sweet lunch set for two.
