When you stay in the same place for a long time
you see memories wherever you go
I’m reminded of this
as I ride to work on the subway
the RED LINE presses out memories
GLENMONT where my brother lived
where my husband picked me up after work
the bowling alley where we celebrated my son’s seventh birthday
TAKOMA walking around flea markets cute stores
and coffee
VAN NESS where my husband proposed
SILVER SPRING belly dancing classes with my BFF
UNION STATION picking up friends and business trips
RHODE ISLAND AVE where I used to live
METRO CENTER where I’ve worked the past 10 years
CLEVELAND PARK high school
FORT TOTTEN my son’s grandparents’ home
and so many more
(I don’t want to bore you)
memories come to mind
lingering there
until the next stop
