A fleeting glimpse

He tilts his hat forward

The informal hello

Acknowledging your presence

Dressed in black

He walks on.

Quick eye contact,given

Of thoughts wary.

Thoughts move on

Disappearing in the

Shadows......

In a blink of an eye

He's gone.

This is an intriguing piece Andrew as you describe this encounter with the mystery man in the hat. It may simply be that, a chance encounter with a stranger who acknowledges our presence on earth or another interpretation is it is a sinister encounter al a Poe.

Ya. Mysterious is the word. Who is this hatted man and what's this business he's doing?

Very mysterious. Grimm reaper, foreshadowing of death?
Kind of creepy but good.
