A Different Light

I don’t suppose you’ve seen

I don’t suppose you’ve seen
My friend
He has black hair, blue eyes and wears a Yankees cap.

No?
He probably went by too fast in his wheelchair.
What’s that? Did you say ‘that guy’?
‘That guy in the wheelchair’?

Yeah, that’s him.
You saw his wheelchair.

Did you see him?
