on a bus
us standing side by side,
touched at the Waist,
a long ride went by. On a hot day,
in search of air to breathe:
The un-noticed man
opens the window.
packed in tight,
closer than ever, yet bored -
here we are, trying not to be.
It's my stop. I'll myself pull the cord.

"Strong am I with the Force, but not that strong.
Twilight is upon me, and soon, night must fall.
That is the way of things. The way of the Force."
