the men were standing
in the aisle of the bus
hanging from the straps
talking about IUDs and AK47s,
then the plump smiling woman
said to one of them,
do you have two brothers, twins?
and he said yeah,
did you go to washington?
she did. and they recalled
a favorite pizza parlor
and caught up on the people
they had known who died.
he asked her if she stepped out.
no, not really, she said,
i go to church. how's your mother?
