A beautiful sunny afternoon 70 degrees
Dear Bella Levenshtein
For months
I’ve wanted to visit with you
But packed schedules
The oddities of time and noncoincidences of space
Emails unresponded to
It didn’t ever happen
Till today, at last!
We planned to take a walk in the park
An hour to expand, radiate, dissolve
Together
Then while waiting I received your text
“Something’s come up … reschedule?”
I admit I was very disappointed
For about six seconds
