He watched the trolleybus go by every day
It was a self propelled vehicle with a driver
Operated like a modern day bus
Styled like an old 1930’s electric trolley bus
Which was powered from overhead wires back then
An old man was waiting for the trolley bus today
He remembered seeing him ride before
He moved very slowly and took his time getting on
Curious about the whole trolley bus experience
He decided to take a ride himself the next day
The old man was there again
He waited patiently for him to slowly get on
Then followed him and found a seat behind him
There were just the two of them riding that day
He leaned forward to start a polite conversation
I see you riding this trolleybus every day
The old man turned round to answer
But he was no longer an old man
Mysteriously transformed into handsome young man
Wearing 1930’s style clothing he responded
Yes I take this trolley bus to work every day
They continued small talk for a while
Before the young man announced his stop
Nice to meet you but I get off here so have a nice day
He watched him walk to the front of the trolley bus
No difficulty or hesitation in his stride
Not all all like the old man who he had seen getting on earlier
He was now the only passenger left on the trolley bus
As it pulled away he looked out of the window
No sign of the young man he had just been chatting with
Just an old man standing alone staring at the departing trolley bus
