I’m waiting in the car
while my stepson shops for food
on his restricted diet.
Watching people navigate the parking lot,
like molecules drifting past one another,
I feel bored,
crave some sort of engagement.
So, when a heavyset, white-haired man approaches,
arms wrapped playfully around a short, pudgy woman,
like some infatuated schoolboy,
I glance in his direction.
His easy smile dances into my eyes,
snaps the chain of anonymity,
sends oxytocin swirling through my bloodstream.
