"Beside You on Main Street"

I love poetry and I found this beautiful poetry by searching on web and thought to share this with all poetry lovers on steemit.

We were stepping out of a reading

in October, the first cold night,

and we were following this couple,

were they at the reading? and because

we were lost, I called out to them,

“Are you going to the after party?”

The woman laughed and said no

and the man kept walking, and she

was holding his hand like I hold yours,

though not exactly, she did not

need him for balance. Then what

got into me? I said, “How long

have you been married?” and she said

“Almost 30 years” and because

we were walking in public, no secret,

tell everyone now it’s official,

I said, “How’s marriage?” The man

kept walking. The woman said,

“It gets better but then it gets different.”

The man kept walking.
