sometimes you meet someone on the corner
you gotta keep yourself together
then you have a few drinks
you talk
then suddenly
a strangers not a stranger anymore.


one night
one time
to know more than
could ever be known
over more time
just one stand
one night
that does not matter
what time.

you learn that
even the akward can be beautiful
if it's honest

then you leave
1 p.m. in the morning
without their phone number
never really knowing if you'll see them again

but suddenly
a strangers not a stranger anymore.
