Studio8 - Uniting the Arts

i saw kathy lemonakis on the bus,
the number 10, by mount royal station
back when the buses were green,
noisy and rickety
can't remember where i was coming from
or whether i was on the bus
before she got on or after,
forty years tends to smudge
but still i think of her often,
she was tall,
or at least taller than me
and slender, with round glasses
and her frizzy brown hair parted
down the middle, i must have been
thirteen or fourteen, kathy was older
i think she played violin or something
she had that look - like an english teacher
or someone who should be in the renaissance
a humanist, like fontana or anguissola
but i didn't know that back then, even now
it is pure speculation - a daydream
i'm sure we were friends, i liked her
and i still feel that she liked me
we lived in greektown,
and went to the same school
but i only remember her from the bus
