Synopsis
A man who is a scholar of ancient Japanese haiku poetry is profoundly affected by the love of one woman. As he tells the story of their chance encounter on a New York City sidewalk which lead to their brief but all-consuming romance, he realizes such intensity often dissipates like the stanzas of a haiku: they are over too fast, never quite understood but forever beautiful.
