eyes

my eyes met hers in a train
her hands rose to cover them
and revealed one and then the other
a little giggle burst out
and i was in love

i hid myself behind my book
her earnest eyes searched
i suddenly revealed myself
and said boo
she laughed out in her shrill voice
and i was in love again

then she covered her face
and unhid it again
she shouted boo and laughed
and i was in love forever

I am guessing that you encountered a cute baby girl in a train. Am I correct?

btw, i am on a jared diamond spree right now. I bought collapse, finished the third chimpanzee and read his new yorker article twice. :)
