Two people meeting on the street

People watching from a bus window offers a chance to view the thousand mini-dramas taking place on the sidewalk.

Two people meeting on the street
Two people meeting on the street,
I watch their dialogue.
He's asking for directions;
She's out to walk the dog.
An image that is natural
and frequent on the street.
You wonder why he's lonely.
Her words were kind and sweet.
Each had a chance to meet the one
they might be looking for.
But he was handsome; she was plain.
So, just directions, nothing more.
