On the bus


Her carmine lips move
when she texts.
Her Converse low tops
paddle the floor of the bus.

I wonder what
private happiness
has etched joy lines
so clearly on her face,

as her thumbs
dance and race
across the touch screen
of her phone.

Friend or family
in a distant time zone
who would be awake
at this early hour?
