Ruby Tuesday

I took the train to meet my family yesterday and this wonderful image occurred to me.

Maybe it wasn't wonderful, but I think it seemed true.

I'm in this train station and there's this girl. She and I are aware of each other and glance back and forth occasionally, but her mind is elsewhere.

Our trains come on opposite sides of the track simultaneously. She gets on the one full of baseball fans. Mine is empty. I sit in a seat watching her wait for people to get off her train so that she can get on. She gets on and is gone.

Sads.
