start ...

early morning
standing for the bus
reading in wall street
the downfall of
credit suisse

bored by the news
i glance around
stunned and dazed
am stuck aground

listen to music
in her hand a book
there she stands
with a desi look

inch by inch
i shuffle my feet
gathering guts
to go up and greet

word by word
line by line
the hello becomes
a conversation divine

destiny shines
the bus is late
for once in life
dint bitch about the wait

talking to strangers
one of the arts
precisely how
a friendship starts
