The Man And The Woman

a man and a woman
meet for the first time

their eyes meet and
understand

but both of them are not free
slaves of their past

and still subjects to the whispers
of the hazy future

their paths crisscross
and they admit they're only there

for the moment
each takes the ride to nowhere

and shall only remember
and then of course, forget.
