Watching Time Pass

On A Train

The trees whizz by like lightning

Or shooting stars up in the sky

Sitting here reclining

Writing rhymes, to pass the time

Upfront a baby babbles

As the sun peeks through the blinds

The people, much like scrabble tiles

Different worlds different lives

All come together in this moment

Some smiling as the wander by

Another vast assortment

Of people who touch my life

A few short, fleeting hours

Most I will never see again

My eyes, their faces scour

As I travel on this train

Momentary meetings

That temporarily makes me think

Will my solitary greeting

Expose the me I want for them to meet
