Fiction

A great romance was born
as she boarded his bus;
a book by Douglas Adams
held her attention,
and she-- she held his.
She was 39.
He was a contractor.
She wanted 3 children.
He was from Maine.
She was a quarter Japanese.
He was a vegetarian.
She’d voted libertarian,
but together, they'd move
___past that.

A great romance was born
as she boarded his bus,
and died
as she left,
never really having noticed
he'd been sitting
there at all.
