Can you recall
the last time
someone said something
that really caught
your attention
she asked
staying with you
after the speaker
had gone
insisting
you touch
turn
and work
the raw material
into a greater
perspective
than you came
to the table with
perhaps a friend
an acquaintance
or a stranger
passing through
with something
unexpectedly important
to say to you
before leaving town?
