You bought Christmas paper
So did I
Hundreds of choices
Scores of stores
We each chose
Two identical rolls
From the same shop
On the same day
Amazing!
Reflecting on the day's events
We tell
Each other
Our stories
Without discernible connection
Flashes of identical
Insights
On unrelated topics
Miraculous!
Working separately
In the same place
Hours pass
Without interruption
At identical times
Without cue
We look
For each other
We communicate
On the same wave length
What a gift!
From Marriage is a Balance Beam, a book of poetry by Carole Bos.
