tonight on the train
a long ride
because i'm covering
sickness weighs down
every muscle
i set my alarm
for forty minutes from now
and doze
in between white phases of nothing
i notice a green jacket
same shade
dancing behind
the blur of my eyelashes
perhaps because
i just interacted with you
it does not seem odd
that you might be
right there
in the seat in front of me
my stomach clenches
and i strain to open my eyes-
a japanese man.
and the jacket
isn't similar at all
in cut
i accept
eyes closing again
for there are many more
minutes to go
