Meeting and Passing
By Robert Frost
As I went down the hill along the wall, there was a gate I had leaned at for the view, and
had just turned from when I first saw you as you came up the hill.
We met, but all we did that day was mingle great and small, footprints in summer dust
as if we drew, the figure of a being less than two, but more than one as yet.
Your parasol pointed the decimal off with one deep thrust, and all the time we talked,
you seemed to see something down there to smile at in the dust.
Oh, it was without prejudice to me, afterward I went past what you had passed, before we
met and you what I had passed.
