Deja vu, all over again
"Woa... deja vu."
"What?"
"He just got up to the bathroom and said 'powertools' in my ear. And I look up, and you're in front of me."
Pause.
"What do you think causes deja vu? It's so weird."
"I don't know. Maybe there's a bend in a time continuum - it loops and intersects."
"Or, maybe you think of it so much that you will it to happen."
"Possibly. Or maybe you never saw the image, but your brain is telling you right now that you saw the image before?"
"Hmm... But in any case, most deja vu's seem to be such insignificant things."
"Like 'powertools'"
"Yeah... it's always the passing moments that mean little to you that become deja vu"
They argued and joked the rest of dinner like a married couple. I didn't feel uncomfortable. We didn't fall back into place like peas&carrots either. What is it that makes our lives intersect - with or without significant meanings?
