Coincidence Pileup
Tuesday the 9th, leaving work,
There's a delay and I don't get to
Turn left onto Broadway this green
Among the pedestrians coming my way
Are Tatjana and her mother,
Who I haven't seen in three months
I yell out her name
And they come up to the car,
Tatjana leaning in and giving me a kiss
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Wednesday the 24th, after work,
I walk into Great Expectations
Because two people have chosen me
A woman also at the counter
Who'd had her back to me
Turns, and it's Tatjana
She gives me a hug
And we both marvel at
Our bumping into each other again
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Thursday the 25th, lunchtime,
I'm walking through Horton Plaza,
Where I hardly ever go
Coming my way is Louise,
Who I hadn't seen in 8 months,
But who I'd dreamt about this week
We'd been chatting for a while
When someone walks by and says hello ---
It's Tatjana!
