strangers
sometimes we tell secrets to ourselves
sometimes we tell them to friends
i prefer
to tell my darkest secrets
to absolute
strangers
and then laugh
as i see them
float into the wind
i like talking to strangers
becuase they have something
nice about them and
tabla rasa
often means
you get away
with being really funny
i don't know
maybe it is just because of the movies
and the idea of how two people meet
and the blossoming of friendship
like this morning
when i found myself face to face
with a complete stranger
hunched over the ground
in the center of the city street
each
tying
his own
shoelace
