Leaving, Arriving

.


At a bus station: 
a rover and 
a home-comer.

One  is young and eager:
the stow-away passenger.
        He itches and aches to 
        be far away from his home,

The other is tired, but glad:
the last-trip bus driver.
        He grins and hums a tune
        as to his home he returns.
