On riding the train to New York

Endless trees
Just you and me
And the couple across from us

Our knees inches away
You help him with his bag
He holds onto his cane
His wife yelling
Her sweater with pumpkins and leaves embroidered
His hat with an old Navy logo

"There are no seats," he says
And simply sits down
His wife makes him sit across from me
"Your legs are skinny," she says

I hold your hand
Just you and me
And the couple across from us
Who we will be, one day
