In my view –
A couple, lovers
Listening to music from an ipod
Their legs tangled
As the train speeds on
Eyes sparkle
They share small earbuds
Left in hers
Right in his
I wonder how this works
What about stereo!
Sitting across from me
A slight man with a big brain
A Fu Man Chu mustache and eyeglasses
I look at his face as we bump along
Wondering if he is Chinese
I have no idea
Today this upsets me
There is so much I do not know
