They say Americans
need their space
need their privacy
and here I sit
briefcase in lap
while he sits right
across from me

I cant look I cant
he has to see
my eyes darting
my tension
my privacy
in the edge of my vision
I see his dirty clothes
his dirty hair
dirty mind
will he watch me
get off
note the stop I take
watch me walk too
