strangers’ smiles


you smiled back for a sec at me
just the moment our eyes met
and now on you go on your way and
will in another moment forget

for what’s there to remember and fret
about in a strange stranger’s smile?

and leaning my rucksack against the wall awhile
i’ll stand here when you have left
drawing what small consolation there may be
from my burning cigarette
