Non-Verbal Communication

We approach each other
In our automobiles
On the narrow country lane

I pull into the side to let you pass
You do the same
Then flash your headlights
As if to say, please carry on

I drive forward
As I pass you I wave
You do the same, then move off

We haven’t met before
We might never meet again

After this short, but pleasant interlude
I return to listen to Pink Floyd’s
Obscured by Clouds

They sing that there will be war
They sing that there will be peace
I say to myself: such is life, c’est la vie
