Endangered Thoughts

the stranger on bus 33

Strangers in love -
   is that factual?
the darkness covers all
   that surrounds -
making it difficult to see....
Daylight arrives - how does it seem?
   the woman from bus 33 just
   doesn't look the same.
Maybe it's just a nightmare...

if only i dream...

didn't we ever think things through?
my world is so small -
   yet those aspirations keep me here.
Etched out across the sand - a line -
I could get there if i cared to.
dozens of people pass me by;
   i could speak - if only i dream.
more to life than that 19" box
   that dictates rather than interacts.
I survive - on the outskirts of town.
