I take a second,
Pondering the strange situation I've found myself in.
"How are you?"
Mom said don't talk to strangers,
Is he a stranger?
This man I see on the subway
Everyday?
"I'm fine, thanks"
My heart is pounding,
The sentance has taken my breath away.
He's a stranger I decide,
I finger my trusty phone,
My safe place in the screen.
"Buisness?"
I ignore him,
Because saying something would be rude.
I pretend not to hear.
My breath slows,
My heart calms itself.
And conversation dies.
Two sentances.
That's all we had.
