should I, I ask myself
will she think I’m bothering her?
embracing temptation, I walk towards
the table she sits at in the university library
saying hello, she smiles and says hello
small talk about school and studies
then I mention how it’s been almost a year
since we were Saturday acting classmates
it becomes quiet; neither of us know what to say
I throw a pebble into the silence
time for me to resume studying
take care, have a good rest of your weekend
she smiles and says you too in a warm voice

after returning to my table,
I open my high school English book
read e.e. cummings poem buffalo bill’s defunct
as my mind’s eye watches a balloon climb the sky
before disappearing
