Bus Sun Tran

Bus Sun Tran 
As i was waiting for the bus 
i soon discovered 
the bus comes when it wants to 
not when i want a bus 
it is under the drivers rule not mine 
i can never call it quickly 
but i soon  discover 
that i am a salmon swimming upstream 
leaning to the upper water to catch 
the warmth of the sun 
avoiding capture 
 as i swim in the river 
the bear tries to paw me 
up and out of the river 
into its waiting Jaws 
all aboard
