The irony in life

2006

I got on the bus today

After talking to Brown about my feelings for you

I went to my favourite seat

The bus was full but my seat and the seat next to it were free

But I almost stood anyway

Right in front of me, facing away from the world

A spot away from where you were you “didn’t” sit a week before

Was a man decked out in full cadet gear

His big black army tote between his legs

Poppy pinned to his heart

Socially awkward and closed off

He got off at your stop

It was Remembrance Day too

Now what are the odds of that?
