Faces, Faces Everyone
Bright yellow capsules approach
The daring step forward
Eager to launch.
The timid slowly shuffle
New sneakers hesitant
To join the fray.
Parents contain cautious doubts.
The doors close
The capsule rumbles away.
Slowly a murmur
Becomes chatter
Leads to laughter
And……..
“the wheels of the bus…”
The driver smiles
And sighs.
