Lifetime Reserved Seats

I lean a bit
keeping balance
doing a hundred
and more into
long curves
our train on
rubber wheels
breaking
continental records
In the seat
next to mine
an attractive
young woman
cool with
no response to
overtures
Train rocking
she is asleep
facing me until
in the next
sharp curve
my head
turns in time
to feel lips
touch mine for
a quick victory
In her fluster
she smiles
speaks
hushed apology
the beginning of
what we still
laugh about
she and I

This is a lovely way to tell a lifetime story of love and romance in just a few teasingly interesting words. Well done Bill.

yes, sometimes it is good to know where you are going to be seated, I took a snow train once, there was no way was there any sleeping going on, the scenery was to beautiful, but i was alittle sea sick, and they put us in a perfect spot, where we could see everything,
