You played "Stand by Me" on your ukulele as the F train lurched through Manhattan. I tossed a dollar in your case, but wanted to give you my number instead—a missed tune and perhaps a missed chance.

You were reading Murakami on the F train, headphones on, smiling at something only you knew. I was the awkward guy clutching an extra umbrella, wishing I’d offered it before your stop at York Street.

You accidentally knocked my coffee over at DeKalb Ave, then made it up to me with your best stand-up routine for the rest of the ride. I got off at Canal Street but forgot to ask for your name. Let’s spill (less) coffee together sometime?

We shared a bench near the Bethesda Fountain and debated the best pizza slice in the city. You said Di Fara’s, I stubbornly defended Joe’s. You left before I could get your number—maybe round two, loser buys the next slice?

We both watched in horror as my everything bagel flopped onto the sidewalk outside Murray’s. You handed me a napkin and laughed, and I was too mortified to ask your name—care to split a bagel for real next time?

You were the stranger in the yellow raincoat, reading Murakami, who offered me your seat when my umbrella dripped on your shoes. I was too embarrassed to thank you properly before you disappeared at Union Square—maybe this time I’ll offer you my seat.

You kept dropping your book and laughing at your own clumsiness. I wanted to say something witty, but all I managed was a smile. If you see this, maybe let’s meet for coffee—no subway needed.
