Train For Two

I caught reflections
  on a train
staring back from window panes

I was there 
looking too
   on a train 
   Me and you

A man in front
  We had to laugh
We made a short, Illicit Rap

On a train 
They fell in love
   He the Mexican
   her the dove

Their only touch 
a shoulder space
so light the bond of skinless taste

His wife is ill 
he feels alone
   on this train
   he finds a home

No names or speak
no kissing deep
No Holidays or candy sweet

Just on a train
Just enough
   Traveling quiet - 
   tracks of love

No proof of shame
No lovers game
no come or go or lonely pain

I saw reflections
me and you
   we had to laugh
   our train for two
