For the past year I have had a secret bus friendship that I must get out in the open. His name is Joel, he's a Hispanic man in his late 50's early 60's who works as the maintenance man at a private school near my ghetto public school. Aside from his morning hug and kiss on the cheek, I very much enjoy the poems he has for me everyday. He started writing poetry when he was learning English and they really are quite beautiful. I get a new one everyday...and they are wonderful.
I started riding the 6:54am B38 bus with him around Valentines Day last year and he has proven to be a lovely addition to my day.
