Several years ago I wrote "The Riff-Raff Club"...this is a follow-up.

On The Bus, Again
Dan Johnson
12 January, 2013

The world famous Riff-Raff Club has assembled once again on the #19 going downtown

The spy in from the cold:

On this cold January morning I spy
Another traveler…but he looks like the spy who came in from the cold
He sits up straight, on the bench across from me,
With barely parted lips he signals…’good morning’
Pretty young college student sits next to old guy,
He wears wire rim glasses, do they see code?
Hair gray with hints of blond
He has pointed nose,
His age about 15 years past required medicare approval,
He breaks a sneaky smile, eyes widen…
Wait! Is this code?
Over her shoulder he observes message sent by texting,
She smiles too…perhaps she was sexting.

More to come…

dan, the day to day events most of us fail to appreciate are often very informative and a good tool for analysis of the myriad of social personalities we encounter routinely - you've done a marvelous job of observation and relating - i enjoyed it - i wish you love and peace my dear friend - jon michael

lol...reminds me of someone who was
smiling at me (I thought) but rather
smiling over or past me
...I sure felt silly smiling like
some stranger was happy to see me lol

Interesting. Codes in the park bench between April and December? Young girl/gray hair? Old man/wire rim glasses? Name of this Interlude . . . "James Bond Meets Pussy Galore.
