Imitations of a Narrative
So I
Sit and wait with trains passsing overhead.
Usually, I'm the one on the train
But today, I await a bus.
So I pace as I wait.
Waiting on the bus that never came until a
Seat opened on a bench and I sat.
Writing a poem in my notpad
Surrounded by eyes
yet not feeling watched and still overlooked as I
glanced up momentarily from this cellphone.
Listening to the train mum.
Looking for the
Bus that never came
Feeling oddly safe as I mimicked a narrative.
Telling the tale as it happened.
Passing time until it came.
