Strange Encounters – Susan Varo 10/23/2009

Yesterday and today

To and fro

Am I being tested

I really don’t know

There are two seeking me

Like I’m at their disposal

With nothing but their words

And with a marriage proposal

These strange encounters

Are not what they seem

Why can’t I wake up

Wake up from this dream

Right there when they spoke

Their words were the same

Right here, here’s the joke

I only have a first name

If it’s all just a game

I can just do without

Where are all the rules

What is this all about

Unknown faces I see

Do I stand out loud

They’re coming to me

Amongst a variable crowd

Are they seeking answers

What is it in me

Such unwitting dancers

With rehearsed choreography

What strange encounters

Or am I the strange one

Seems there is no ending

Since when it begun

Stranger and stranger

And stranger it will get

Who are these strangers

These strangers I just met
