A Poem a Day: a Series – Day 111

Day 111: “Synchronicity”

---

I’m sitting on the metro

Doing a crossword

And listening to music

“Your Body” by Night Lunch

---

I can’t help myself

I tap my foot along to the beat

---

Something catches my eye

The man to my right is also tapping his foot

Bopping along to some song

---

I like this synchronous moment

I look around

A man up ahead is

You guessed it

Tapping his foot along to his music too

---

I sit there enjoying this moment of connection

Not talking

Not even making eye contact

I’m not even sure they know what we all are doing

---

But I do

And I imagine we’re all listening to the same song
