Bus People

Bus people really have a lot of time to think:

They are always on
the brink of realizing
what's going on.
Shoulder-to-shouldering
their way along each morning, wishing
they were back in bed, finding
they are spiritually dead and

all the while 
bumping 
to the sounds
of the streets outside.

What's the old saying - "Life sucks and then you die." I can relate to your bus people. Those days are gone now, fortunately. Congrats on the selection. daver
