This old man, my silent, accidental bus-companion for the last 15 years. He looks like an Amish man, a long wispy, white beard, no moustache, so concrete, so real of a man, so of this Earth, his brown work shoes, his cloth bag of papers and whatnots. He must have a history as interesting as the history of this region of Ohio, of other states, perhaps, (of another home country?) . He must have had a life of proud labor; he still dresses like a laborer, a blue, un-tucked work shirt, blue jeans w/ faded-to-cream color knees and a breast pocket filled with pens and a set of plastic silverware. Does he still work, I wonder, to supplant his social security? God forbid we don’t give him enough to live on, but God bless him – he would probably be happier to still be working.
