I used to talk to strangers
On the bus, it was like all
Of us were guests at a party
Except that not everyone
Was happy, nor having a
Birthday…or in celebration
Mood–so there was no cake
On a tray nor glass to toast
Someone’s age–which none
Would confess…
We might greet each other
With smiles—but maybe not
For we were strangers after all
Merely collected on a bus
