bus talk

An older woman on the bus

talking to a younger

she says

what year you born?

1984

met with giggles

oh my, so young, she sighs

well, she then sings teasingly,

i get to go to heaven before you do!

and stands to leave

thank you for the conversation

that's so nice...

always enjoy talking...

made my day.

and clutches her green and clear plastic tote

smiles off into the rain.
