Since they‘d never met before, they‘re surethat there‘d been nothing between them.But what‘s the word from the streets, staircases, hallways---perhaps they‘ve passed by each other a million times? I want to ask themif they don‘t remember---a moment face to facein some revolving door?perhaps a ”sorry” muttered in a crowd?a cut ”wrong number” caught in the receiver?but I know the answer.No, they don‘t remember. They‘d be amazed to hearthat Chance has been toying with themnow for years. Not quite ready yetto become their Destiny,it pushed them close, drove them apart,it barred their path,stifling a laugh,and then leaped aside. There were signs and signals,even if they couldn‘t read them yet.Perhaps three years agoor just last Tuesdaya certain leaf flutteredfrom one shoulder to another?Something was dropped and them picked up.Who knows, maybe the ball that vanishedinto childhood‘s thicket? There were doorknobs and doorbellswhere one touch had covered anotherbeforehand.Suitcases checked and standing side by side.One night, perhaps, the same dream,grown hazy by morning. Every beginningis only a sequel, after all,and the book of eventsis always open halfway through
