Heard you were in the hospital and might not be the same
From the swirling chatter without and within
I was tricked by that anglepoise frame
Looking out for you near the subway

You'd laugh in disbelief
If I told you the impact you made
It's all there already
Cooling in a patch of shade

Under a woollen hat, suspicion into smiles
Coat kept on for warmth or easy escape
Turning your phrases with honest surprise
Hands weighed down, an ochre tinge

You'd laugh in disbelief
If I told you the impact you made
It's all there already
Cooling in a patch of shade
