finalmente

sitting on the chicago/franklin platform to catch a breath
20 trains come and go, lugging busy people along with them.

face down, sandals off, eyes closed.
settled down on that cold bench .. I wait.

when finally, finally- a man touches my shoulder and asks that one question my soul was longing for.
