round, a round
older man;
newspaper scanning.
yellow jacketed.
sideburns, with
a chubby Eric Idle
look.
a young lady
all in black.
curled mouth;
looking insecure -
or maybe angry.
red headphone cable
a nice touch.
a middle aged woman;
middle eastern…
christian?
glasses and dyed
dark hair; smiles
while thumbing
through her iPhone.
an asian woman;
vacantly pretending
not to see
a thing.
pink lipped -
she sees all;
says nothing.
a girl in red;
jeans with scarf.
reading tight
lipped on her tablet.
black & white wheelie
bag sits obediently
at her feet.
between them all
I got transfixed; my
thoughts go round
and round.
I missed my stop.
