Think, thought, will think

I'm sitting on a bus, there is
a face like warmth and
graham crackers
somewhere to the side, but
my face is pressed
on a window, that
once was transparent
years ago.

I thought I saw
something in the road,
that was like a squirrel,
but I mistook it for
a turtle
who was lost
with no place
to cross.
Instead,
it was a leaf.

I think I will pretend
it is really a lizard,
because it seems
like it will be
in the middle of that
intersection
for quite a long time,
marooned.

How subtle
it is.

It was briefly
forgotten.

I will be the only one to
notice.
