We both reached for the last everything bagel at that Park Slope deli. You let me have it and joked that destiny was in carbs, but I froze and missed my chance to ask for your number. If you see this, maybe we can split a bagel next time?

We shared an umbrella on the platform at Canal Street, then sat across from each other as our sneakers squeaked from the rain. You smiled, I blushed, and then you disappeared at 14th Street—wish I’d asked your name.

You in the green beanie, reading Murakami and smiling at your phone; me, standing by the door fumbling headphones. Our eyes met as the train lurched—was that a spark, or just static? Let’s blame the MTA for our missed connection and try again.
