Late November, 1988
I was browsing Québécois literature
in the basement of Duthie Books
when I caught sight of her fine legs
descending the spiral staircase.
She started leafing through poetry books
as I was trying to think of a pickup line
like you know, my touch could change
the whole meaning of your body¹, when I spied
the gold band on her left hand
and then all I could wish
was that today was five or ten or whatever
years ago and that I was Canadian,
knew something about hockey,
and somehow I had met her well before
that guy who got there first.
¹ Line cribbed and adapted from Lorna Crozier's poem "Man from the East"
