On the steps of the theatre in the streets of London, they saw each other. One in a red coat the other with splattered glasses from the downpour Their eyes met and the memories of long ago nights filled their heads. The one with the red coat offers a smile both friendly and in farewell The one with the glasses offers only a nod and heads through the doors A day later that coat is missing, along with its owner never to be seen again Two days later the coat reappears with only a pair of glasses in its pocket.
