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
