A pair of grey haired people approach me
.
My quiet demeanor tends to warrant conversation
.
“What time does the train leave?” they ask
.
“5 minutes” I reply to them
.
The speaker is blaring the trains arrival.
The monitor displays the departure time.
I am the trusted source
.
But the pair stays put after I talk to them.
I
told them they are on the opposite platform.
I am the trusted source.
Headlights approach on the horizon line.
The pair doesn’t budge
.
They start for the elevator as the horn gets louder.
The symphony of wheels continues.
