I sat across from you weeks ago now on the #20 downtown early one morning. You chatted with an older woman charismatically, daif hello to an acquaintance, of your profession I believe, and were generally quite charming to behold. I didn't want to interrupt however and so read my book in silence until I could not help but laugh out loud several times from the comedy. We made eye contact several times and smiled across the isle before you said something, also charming, about my laughter and we exchanged a few words at which point I mentioned I recognized you from the neighborhood and you said you lived on the Drive and elaborated on your work in various theatres over the years. And then abruptly we were all getting off the bus downtown and I never even got your name which I immediately regretted. I'd love to converse further. I have taken to crossing my fingers every time I get on the bus these days or that I'll simply have the pleasure of running into you one day in the street.
