Rush hour, crowded subway
Standing room only
Two hands reach
And meet
On the same handle
Apologies swapped
Eyes lock
Smiles form
A kindling fire is born
Between two strangers
Train lurches, balance subsides
Two bodies collide
Pardons exchanged
Fanning the flames
Of this kindling fire
Sparked by destiny’s fate
