Wrong Time, Wrong Place

He's one of those people. He has that enthusiastic smile that drives you in. Those intellectual eyes that make you want to listen to every word or laugh that spills from his mouth. His body is tall, long and slender but not gauntly or clumsy. His voice seems as though it belongs to a famous narrator... and depressingly enough a silver ring wraps around his left finger as he lectures me in the wonders of English.
I believe he is an artist like myself. Not in the art of talent with a paint brush or a pencil, but in the way he sees the world. He sees what lies beyond the surface, and it shines in a blinding light as he speaks to you. His ideas are beautiful in every spark of thought.
As he lectures me I make constant eye contact. I get distracted from raising my hand just to stare at him. Each time I speak it seems just for a moment he is admired by my words as well. His eyes grow wide in hunger with the next idea I presume. He starts off my Tuesdays and Thursdays with a brilliantly intellectual conversation and a glimpse into what could have been.
It makes me think how strange this time vortex we spiral in is. I wonder why I wasn't born at a different time. Knowing this man had attended my high school... I wonder if I was born in his time, maybe things would be different. Instead of lecturing me in the magic of English... he could be lecturing me in the mysteries of romance.  How strange it is... time and place. How strange it is it controls the outcome of our life. How strange it is we could be living completely different lives if it was a somewhat different time and place.
