Per Chance?
October 11, 1995
What are the odds
of a sycamore leaf
and a maple leaf
falling away from their trees
on opposite sides of the street
at just the right time
and just the right notion
and motion of wind
for their fluttery,
downward, sashaying flight
to land them together in one spot
like the palms of two hands clasped -
his right one, her left?
