You’ve known this guy
for a while now
played tic-tac-toe in chalk
on street pavements
and shared corned beef butties
on golden sands on summer days
drifted apart on schooldays
while you were into chemistry
he was knocking in nails in CDT
but you would still be meeting up
in the playground or dining hall
and after time passed
and water trickled under the bridge
school reunion he’d spot you
from the back of the venue
and although you felt like a wallflower
he was there to greet you like you were the star of the show
