Returning home from church last night, an ordinary day-two of a new year, crossing the street, happens my head is down for a brief moment. Next thing i'm aware of someone in front of me, so i step back one pace raising my head, i'm looking straight and direct, into the smiling eyes of Machel Montana(T&T Soca Monarch). My brain registers, my mouth zips, i continue walking, Shucks!! i should have at least said Happy New Year, duh!!!
stars are out -
the twinkling of lights
on Christmas trees

It is hard to act normally when face to face with a celebrity, but I guess they appreciate the anonymity once in a while.

We've all had those moments that we look back on and wish that we had said/done something differently. A nice haibun that demonstrated this very well. Oh, well, maybe next time, right? Happy New Year to you!

Perhaps he appreciated that he didn't have clamoring adulation for once. Or perhaps you could ask "Why didn't he recognize me?!"
Delightful! A charming capture!
