noodles on the bullet train

it hit her like a train
off the tracks
head swiveling around
just in time
to see him collide into her
with wide open arms

to allow herself hope
is unknown
but he knows her
so she opens
her heart for him
and he fills her

they let each other unravel
and their strings
tangle together
like a strand of DNA
or the ramen
on their chopsticks

it hit her like a train
off the tracks
and she let it
just in time
to see her life come together
with wide open eyes
