The Woman At the Bus Stop
I pass her every single day
While on my morning walk
But rarely give a second glance;
There is no cause to gawk.
She’s sitting on the bus stop bench
Protected from the rain
With coffee or a snack at hand,
Her clothing neat and plain.
Today she read the paper,
Which I do each day as well,
Yet she has never noticed me,
As far as I can tell.
You may wonder why this ordinary
Person’s in my poem.
Here’s the answer – she intrigues me
For the bus stop is her home.
