Heads Up

Minding my own business

On a bench at a bus stop

Finding gum collections beneath a plastic seat

Flavors long since faded

 

Kicking a penny across the concrete floor

Heads up, who cares

Watching it bounce and roll

Changing direction in the cracks

 

Getting high off of exhaust fumes

Liking it a bit - blurry minded

When she sits next to me

Kind of cute, pretty eyes

 

Out of my league

She strikes up a conversation - with me?

We are headed the same destination

She is happy about that, has someone to talk to - me?

 

Our bus arrives, I help with her bag

She leads the way, nice walk

I stop and bend over, picking up the penny

It’s a long trip, might need this later
