Literature Text

sitting in the shelter.
will the busses never come?
the glow of the snow off the street lights
softens the world.
surreal.
a whistle!
where is it?
a howl!
peering around, trying to determine
if there is a pack of half-starving, rrabid wolves
hot on our scent.
laughter.
it is the wind through the bus stop.

the cold settles until we are numb.
you talk.
i talk.
we talk.
we laugh at boys and sigh over love.
we anguish at perfection and fume at ditziness.
a pause.
you open up to me.
our souls become one.
"i love you."

we smile.
i know it's hard.
you keep to yourself.
i hope that you can be yourself with me.
after all, we are friends!
this poem is my version of friday night, when the world was cold and harsh, and i was sitting with my good friend sammy c at the bus stop after work
