Writer's Block

Waiting for inspiration 
Like waiting for a train

Sitting,
Watching people get on
Get off

Watching people,
Seeing short moments of their life
What they do
Who they are

And forgetting myself

Saw a man running,
What was he late for?
Saw a woman break her heel
Now what will she do?
Saw young teens just waiting
Not in a rush

Then I saw someone sitting across the platform
Sitting
Watching

He was watching me

We looked at each other for a few seconds
Held the gaze
And released

Maybe like me,
He was waiting for the train of inspiration
