before meeting

a relation-ship is a reflection of a reflection of a reflection 
of all familiar people and things that ever meant something to you
just like in a Sbarro at Northpark Mall, or,
at College Square Pizza on Central Street:
near-endless image map wall to wall
of scores of people eating their pies
until finally reaching your perception—you, prime:
alone, eating pizza 
before meeting with a friend
to study or kiss or mirror
you,
or who.
