Unencounter

We meet
& you greet
with a joke.

We walk
& you talk
with a smile.

I’m cold
& you hold
me in close.

We eat
& you keep
spilling sauce.

She rings
& you grin
but don’t tell.

We drink
& you think
but don’t say.

I invite
& you might
come along.

We laugh
& you half
move in close.

It ends
you pretend
it didn’t.
