PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

Riding the bus

to DC

& talking with a young lady

from NYC

heading to Baltimore

& then she’s tired 

laying down

using my lap as a pillow

& I’m sitting there

looking out the window

thinking “Wonderful!

I get a girl’s face in my lap

and she’s asleep.”

& the bus rides along

I-95 through rain and sleet

It doesn’t get much

more frustrating than this.
