License plate

I saw you

oh yes, I saw your eyes:

the quick move, the auto-join scan

no worries...we cannot help

as odd as it is we all do it

meeting at some crossroads

on bridges, in roundabouts and traffic-jams

before and behind us

checking each others license plates

Funny and strange enough the simple conclusion

to inevitably identify

the person inside with the registration of the vehicle

I mean....it could be rented, borrowed, corporate

even freshly stolen

And then:

furthermore even identifying the driver with

the reputation, manners, flaws, habits, customs, traditions

of the country or state where the vehicle is licensed!

Ah...yes I saw your eyes

down on the crossroads of life

no worries, we all do it

but now I add a wild little ending:

I did not even drive....I was walking....
