She sits across from me, the bus moves on. Her head buried, staring at device…waiting for next message from absent lover. She misses the next three stops; but she has constant hope.
a she or he sits across from all of us don't they? your 3 sentences conveyed the whole sadness of what we've become in the most perfect way...thanks dan for the reminder to fight the entrapment...pat
Excellent perception of today's world. Teens especially can't seem to live withour their cellphone's. In MY day their were no cellphones to speak of, just the landline phone's. My daughter's phone travels with her where ever she goes, and so does HER daughter's. Progress? I'm not so sure.
Hope is the water that quenches our thirst I think.. no matter what we are hoping for... a text, a call, or just a thought to drift upon us, a memory that waits for us to acknowledge it. Yes we may miss a few stops a long the way but what does that really matter...there will be other stops... I love this piece! Thank you for sharing it, TD..)

I see that daily . . . I don't text . . . I don't answer texts . . I use the phone as a phone . . . Out of touch with the modern world? . . . most definitely! . . . Darn good writing . . .
