Introspective journey.
Striving to stay awake.
Drab, dank day of giving,
With supermarket break.
Coke and Sandwich purchase,
Young lady loading car.
I stand, controlled and waiting,
Bag and baggage bar.
Turning from her labour,
She finds me waiting there.
Silently she thanks me;
Smiles, through tangled hair.
Platonic, sensual contact.
A meeting in the rain,
Rekindled choked back memories
Of life’s potential gain.
