I smiled at the angled reflection of my face in the glass.
I was looking out at the world through the faint image of myself, and I remembered that that was nearly always the case, even when it wasn't so literally true as in this moment.
We see the diners at the cafe, the shoppers in the window, our fellow travelers, all of them refracted.
Just a little through our own hopes and history.
I leaned back in my seat as we passed through a short tunnel.
I closed my eyes and felt the brief flash of each passing light on my face.
The tracks curved, and I let the momentum rock me in my seat.
My stop was coming up.
I was so used to the stretch of road that my body knew it before my mind did, and I found myself taking a few deep breaths and reaching for my bag before the train began to slow.
Almost home, I thought, as the station came into sight.
I nodded to the soccer player and his dad as I stepped off the train, hoping that they had only one more stop to go.
I pass through the station.
and came out onto the street in the purple light of dusk.
A patch of lilies grew in a flower bed at the corner, and their scent stood out in the night air.
So sweet I imagined every honeybee within five miles was in love with them.
A row of street lamps turned on overhead as I made my way up the block toward home.
The faint buzz, an orange glow of their sodium light.
Made warm pockets on the sidewalk.
From inside the houses on either side of the street.
I heard the laugh tracks of TV shows, the chorus of music, and the low voices of conversation.
