routine details
the bus driver glared at me
like i was a sin to society;
he called me a fag—under his breath,

songs from an empty chair

people rising up from the ashes,
no coordination, no plan in place,
just people who, at the same time, spread all over,

They are smiling,
Lips stretched up, with a slight crinkle of their eyes,
They are listening,
Nodding along, making hums of acknowledgement,
They are happy,

A Tiny Write
I like to think
that if our friends;
sometimes the closest people in our life,
can see us for our soul.
Then so can others.
