right hand pointing


 

Antonia Clark

Bad Idea

That first easy smile

as if we were travelers

on trains speeding

in opposite directions,

as if it were nothing

but a shrug and a sigh,

a sweet c'est la vie

between strangers

who would never

think twice, look back,

or come to regret,

never surrender

their mystery, become

one another's necessity.
