Subway Submission

Ever wonder what that person you’re staring at

on the subway is thinking, or what she might

be thinking when she’s looking back at you.

Sounds and movements don't break the lock

you have made, eyes connected sharing thoughts

of "what ifs" and intrigue.

*

He sits about 10 ft away and stares at

her, with her hair covering half of

her face but still strikes him as

someone he wants to meet, talk to & get to know.

She’s tiny compared to him, but not out of his

league, sporting nothing fancy, Capri pants,

slipper shoes and a form fitting tank top;

but all that is appealing to him as his

interest grows.... then it hits him...

this girl had to be taken...

*

She stands there, leaning on the subway pole

in the middle of the cart a good 10ft away

looking at this man, wondering what goin through

his mind, trying to see his face as it’s covered

by a baseball cap, but a reflection of his face,

reflects off the subway window.

She’s careful not to judge him by appearance,

in his baggy jeans and long fit t-shirts

bcuz she was told not to judge a book by its cover

but his cute face says he's worth a look...

*

They on the same thought process, but honestly,

who meets someone on a subway, is that a story

you’re willing to tell your friends and family.

Well I guess they don't care what people think

because she has made her move... to the exit

only to have been the same stop for him...
