in the snow, on the tracks, at night

i was looking for the missing girl

...
not now i always go to my window and look out

sometimes there are police, arriving

sometimes there is no one

last night i had to wake up and turn the lights on

someday i'll stop dreaming of that house

unhinged transit center
bus stop

bus
light rail


i lugged myself and my bags of library books and groceries to the empty back of the bus and had to scoot past a couple, the man's leg hanging out into the aisle which he moved out of my way so i said thank you and excuse me like i was raised to. as i sat i could feel the woman's angry eyes on me like i was flirting somehow. (i was just being what would be considered to be polite in another region thousands of miles away. i refuse to let this place steal my upbringing from me). i avoided eye contact like i was raised to do and her gaze left me.

then the couple started fighting. about his weed smoking. and his lying. i melted into the bus upholstery staring at a point on the floor that could only be perceived as nonthreatening. i felt appalled at the public display of grievances my ears couldn't help but witness. but the tone of the words could have written their own novel and my childhood conditioning disappeared into a head and heart nod. of course he lied to you honey. don't let him get away with it.
