"stranger"

i should have known you, should have been born

in harpersville, massachusettes, or you

in newton, connecticut.  should have brushed your

shoulder passing through a tight doorway.  or

dialed your number by mistake.  should have

found myself alone with you and smiled.  should

have said, i could have loved you, or looked hard

and said nothing at all.
