he has found someone:
himself.
she sits across the bar,
hat pulled over her eyes.
she watches as he smiles.
he smiles for the first time
in weeks.

he is with his friends.
he doesn't notice her.
he doesn't look for her.
he doesn't think of her.
he doesn't remember
to think of her.
he has finally forgotten.

and she is glad.
