[coincidences]

      ***

Fortuitous greetings bind spacetime.
A blonde bright face under a Spanish sun.
A brunette cloudy day punctured with a smile.
I walk with you until you recall
to invite me to the study of coincidence.

Limbs, chest, the back, the head coincide
in your fouetté.
The teacher demonstrates
the perfect coincidence of relaxed arms,
the trajectory that neatly grounds the jumps,
the smooth resolution from chaînés.

Virtual particles flicker in the night.
