As he spoke
she watched his mouth move
looked at those eyes
thinking to herself
WHO are YOU ?
Not like, who do you think you are
though that certainly
would have been appropriate
But no, this was much deeper
like someone had stepped
into his body and taken over
She missed a good portion of
what he was saying
because her mind kept sensing
the incongruity of the image
standing in front of her
and the stranger that seemed
to subliminally present itself
She kept having the feeling
that introductions should be made
then the question would vanish
from her thoughts
allowing her to
pay more attention
to his words
After it was over
she couldn’t remember much
just the sound of an angry voice
mixed with her own sadness
that a choice had been made
and still, that question
