I had a movie moment
tonight
it was with a boy
a short elevator trip
and a walk down a hallway
I went one way
as he went the other
we had already gone
apart
when
He said Goodnight
and I said Goodnight
back
and it was just us
in that hallway
there was a sigh of a pause
then came the
Sweet dreams from him
You too was all of me
And I smiled
as I listened
to the jingling
of his keys
for he swung them
as he walked
and I saw
the little boy
in this man
I saw
in this man
and I
