he who responded:

would it be asking much to see you again?
would the headphones still be hanging from your neck,
your bag slung casually over one shoulder?
and if i come up to you,
and ask:
"have i seen you somewhere before?"
would you still respond with that smile of yours,
and say:
"yes, of course"?

i encountered a human in front of the atm yesterday
a human in a peacock blue shirt, white pants,
someone who smiled back when i did
and not the machines marching around.

but i can't remember your face,
will you help me?
