one leg
            her left one
            folded up
            and back
            against the
            column.
            
            The leg
            gave the impression
            she was leg up
            her back
            straight against the
            column

            and the white
            dress short
            like a tennis 
            player, her shoes
            high tops
            without socks

            her face, white,
            tells me abort
            tennis
            star, and the shoes             
            stops,
            blocks

            athlete, quickly
            I survey
            her face,
            my eyes, 
            blink,
            she is gone

            quickly
            I see the way
            she owns the place
            my heart tries
            to think
            I am alone

            but we are
            on the same flight,
            I ask what luck,
            fate, it would be
            if we had seats
            across

            from one another, 
            my luck,
            fate or wish
            was answered.
            she in seat 18C
            and me in 18D
            so I make the first

            move…
