Silent Exchange

It’s one of those mornings that begins chilly, drowsy, overcast

Now the sun shines with awful brilliance,

Catching people off guard – they aren’t dressed for it

With short skirts matched to long sleeved shirts

And tall boots wanting puddles

Not parched concrete

He laughs,

But so does she.

Her longish blackish hair gleams against her tan

And she’s healthy, in her element.

He stands in a bright green t-shirt, chatting

Easy. Seems to ignore her adoring

Gaze and posturing, her constant balance shifting

Demands complete attention.

Their laughter and conversation do not carry

Through window panes

What will become of their silent exchange?
