appropriate number for a stranger
insignificant enough to earn itself merit by its own existence
close enough for a what-could-be
equal parts disinterest and intrigue
nothing perfect in the position
yet still sneaking looks to be sure of its presence
most never remember who comes in fourth
still
deep in the crowd
for the simplest of reasons
someone notices
and that quick glance
the simplest of gestures
matters
matters most
