moves
forward through the rain,
the seat
beside me is empty
until we stop
in Baltimore.
a woman
sits down in the empty
seat.
takes her coat off,
her scarf,
settles in with a book,
nods and says
hello.
this is how love should
be.
simple and quiet.
going forward
on a journey, giving
each other
room,
and when you get up
to leave,
at your stop, being polite,
and saying
excuse me.
