No ideas but in things

I'm the author of the chapbook "Call it a Window" (Midwest Writing Center, 2012). This is a collection of inspirations.

almost all the way / w4m / 28 / A to Far Rockaway

Baby girl, you are shy. 

shipsthatpass:

I got on the A at 207 noticed you at 181
I was sitting you were standing by 168
I was certain you were glancing at me
at 145th you sat
(you: fitted button-up)
you didn’t seem too stalkerish
I had time to think about it all the way down
(me: not frowning, just intent
on our joint future)
at Chambers afraid you had got up to leave
but you were giving up your seat
and almost had a heart attack again at Metro-tech
when you started to move
only to settle in at Hoyt-Schermerhorn across the aisle
where you proceeded to give me the flirty eyeball all the way to Howard Beach!

I was too shy to continue.
But did you really need to go so far into Queens?
