You were house-sitting the apartment across the hall. I saw half of your curly head one day as you glanced at me then closed the door.
So, our neighbors the young raven-haired architects were your friends.
I wanted our first accidental meeting on the landing. The coffee we would resolve to take at the nearest out door cafe as mud-splattered hatchbacks would ease around our chairs, their engines banging away with coarse indifference.
I thought, 'oh yes, so this is how we really met.' Only we really did not.

"Everything is in a process of self-formation. Rationalized power structures are overthrown. Human balance is restored through causal interrelationships, one object acting on another." Alfred North Whitehead, 'Adventures of Ideas', New York, 1933
