this humdrum carriage 

carrying daily weight 

waiting

waiting

for some momentary chance of fate 

a meet-cute moment awash in unwashed faces 

pulled high to see through perspex looking glass

perspex mirror 

petit perspex people who want to be made clear

glassy-eyed

inwardly crying out loud

too loud 

in fear that one might hear 

impressions 

and introspections 

on an outfit, book, or awkward look

caught in sideways glances.
