It's an Exciting Time

by Jeffrey Parren

While reading
Bukowski
on the bus
into the city

I glance over
and the man
to my right,
across the aisle,

is engulfed
in printouts
kept neatly
in a colorful folder

of flowers,
apparently November
is Orchid (Month)
or so it seems.

It's an exciting time
purple, green, & white
cascading over
the dreary cold

helping him dream
of warmer weather
and this trip's to see
an exotic Orchid hybrid?

It's an exciting time...
he with his flowers
me with (my) poetry
to each his own.

I often find it's interesting to glance at people who wrapped up in their own things on a level similar to how I can get wrapped up in mine. I think you captured this though wonderfully.
