Twitchy in the side seat. Legs bouncing, humming melodies to non-existent radios. Off in two stops.
Elderly, gone to fat, shaved head with shades atop. Stooped, eyes on pavement, posture of resignation. Depression.
Abuela, so short in her seat that her feet rock without touching ground. I'm so charmed I break into grins, so that she smiles, too. I on the other hand am so tall I'm practically bent double squeezing in.
