Dilemma

I had been looking for a certain volume of poetry, elusive and canny, until today. I found it hidden in a book of collected poems and thought I was the canny one, but then I wondered that if I was looking for someone, searching every movie theater until I found him standing in line, wedged between a large man with a baseball cap and a woman holding a cat, would I take them all home?
