#57 bus, inbound:

A couple sits perpendicular to each other, she on a seat facing the side wall, and he facing the front of the bus. The woman has an elaborate tattoo covering one arm, a man who has been shot in the leg with an arrow bearing a colored banner that says "Esperanza". With her other arm, she reaches across the gap and grabs the hand of her companion, who is sitting holding leftovers from a meal in a styrofoam box. Neither looks at the other for my entire trip. They both look past each other, out their respective windows, hanging on to each other's hands.
