I fell in love
with
an Asian woman,
on the
bus today.

She was reading and writing
and concentrating
and the little wells of wrinkles
around her eyes.

And i could see the
intricacies of sleep around
her nostrils. The cover ups
let em up
make up
dribbling down from her forehead to her chin.

Ching chang. How Long is a man in China.

I loved her for today. i loved her slighting
smile. And
the way she smiled at strangers
without knowing they
had fallen
in love
with

her.
