Oblivious

A girl stepped in front of me

On Collins Street

Oblivious, on her phone,

She didn’t care about me,

And, I didn’t expect it.

I walked into her

And she stumbled sideways

And dropped her coffee,

She cared then.

She insisted I buy her a new drink

I apologised to her and kept walking

I wasn’t even sure I had to do that much,

But, be generous, I thought, it doesn't cost.
