sinchronicity

chatting with a friend
i haven't heard for months
on the mobile phone
while walking through a park
i pause
to watch a coal tit
darting from tree to tree
in front of me
the next moment
the friend's voice
tells me
she has just seen
a tit or maybe a redstart
alight on her balcony
silence ensues
then
a few moments later
we burst out laughing
and all is well
with the world
for a moment
