A Passionate Embrace at the Bus Stop

Dear Diary:

I was inspired to write this poem as I gazed out the bus window at the 86th Street and York Avenue stop:

Two elderly people
Passionately
Kiss each other
Goodbye
He nearly drops his cane
She giggles
Like a schoolgirl
Then they
Hesitantly part
It seems to me
They are
The richest people
Alive
