today...

sitting on the bus today going from here to there
sitting on the bus listening to the old women chat back and forth
sitting on the bus screeching back and forth
sitting on the bus going up and down, up and down
sitting on the bus with other wet people
sitting on the bus today reading my book
sitting on the bus today looking out at the rain
sitting on the bus today daydreaming
sitting on the bus today realizing I was on the wrong bus
sitting on the bus wondering where I was headed
sitting on the bus next to the man with the cane and black top hat
sitting on the bus today thankful I wasn't driving in the chaos of the streets
sitting on the bus today writing down little things about the others on the bus:
~guy with dreadlocks and crutches - wondering what happened to him
~old women next to me pulling my coat every time the bus stopped quickly
~man with cane and top hat - how old was he and where was he going?
~homeless man who only rode one block before getting off
sitting on the bus today
