The bus driver carrying 
Your luggage for the transfer.

The mason jar on the kitchen table,
Filled with reading glasses, 
Their lenses smudged and scratched.

The bed your friend's wife 
Makes up for you on the couch.

The light that stays with you awhile
After the sun has set,

Like a friend waiting with you
For your bus to come.
