The Brush

Standing in line
Minding my own business
I patiently await my turn

My head is down
Fresh from magazine stand
I’m thumbing from page to page

I hear a sound
My head picks up
Just some change hitting the floor

I’m up next
After those in front of me
How much longer will I wait?

The day is young
But I have things to do
So my patience begins to fade

When out of the blue
As she turns to walk out
She brushes against my arm

I catch a glimpse
Lock with her eyes
I turn around, curiously staring

With a quick turn back
She proceeds out the door
Now I’m the one holding the line

  5. Hate those lines. So...did you break out of line or stay and wonder 'what if' ? :)

  6. It doesn't happen often, does it ... that sense of deep connection. When it does it is often without sound and without touch. Just a fleeting connection and then ... nothingness.

  7. What a clever TT. A lot can be transmitted through just a brush and a quick eye contact. BUT, I would have trouble leaving a line I had spent much time in just to chase a possibility. Some would. :)

    My TT will be up this evening.
