At the station
The guy as usual stands on
the other side of the track
as I stand on this side waiting
for the train to take us
to the next stop which is the
destination of our journey only
that his destination is the stop
behind the end of my itinerary
and mine is the stop behind
the end of his
I stand on this side of
the platform on the other
side of the track where he
stands we look at each
other… in doubt

Bến Ga - Biển Bắc
