On a Train from Florence to Nice
sitting in an ugly blue seat
hours have drifted by
my tired eyes, glance to the side
there sits a girl
with a medical book in her lap
meticulously taking notes
I wonder
how she is
unfazed by the endless chatter
of those around her
and the sprawling landscapes
of rocky gray mountains
placed about a crystal blue sea
that passes by
just outside her window
I admire such dedication
to study in a crowded space
during the summer
with its never ending heat
suddenly
a tall man walks by
in lavender skinny jeans
she glances up
then I
chuckle to myself
and close my eyes.
