The Go Between
by Chris Baribeau
Sat between a man and a middle aged woman
on the bus.
The woman makes sure to
poke me, and
remind that I should give my seat to some lady with a
cane, so I
start to get up,
but some other guy beats me to it.

Then the woman leaves, and is
replaced by this fat lady.
–Her thighs and shoulders press and
squish into me,
making me retreat into this
condensed box, and I
start to think about how much
action a large lady like her
must be getting,-

So I stop pumping my leg up and down
nervously.

“Sorry dear”, she says.
“Just getting off my shift,” she says.

- “Aerobics instructing”
she says,
Quickly pulling her
bag out, and spilling cigarettes
all over my lap.
