Waiting
(Jan. 3, 2015)
On a cold, puddle-filled night
some folks wait for a bus
under the shelter of a train station.
We don’t look at each other,
or speak to each other,
but we are waiting for the same bus.
Another unspeakable year gone by,
and we are still traveling
this road together,
me and my working-class comrades,
me & my fellow pilgrims –
we weary travelers in the night.
— Adam Gottlieb
