It struck me, in that instant
As I drove away from the railway station
The girl, on her mobile phone
She had difficulty with comprehension
The old men in the pub; roast Sunday lunch
They had friends, newspapers, beer and conversation
Impossible thoughts lingered; whale riders
Bungee jumpers and presidents of the world
Impossible thoughts of eternity that allow
All things to become all things whatever
The joy of sharing distant yet close experiences
Explicit moment; I did not know what he was thinking
