Bus Driver.. Remembers
Tuesday, February 9, 2010 at 10:30PM Waiting for the bus
checking your watch
Standing in the rain
Umbrellas child
folder in hand
You came aboard
one of many.
Determined
Dedicated
Ready
Prepared
Clean and Pressed
combed and anxious
On Cell phone, making appointments
Interviews, re-interviews
Call to kids,
dinner arranged for
victory to come.
Energy
Eager
Confident
Certainty
What path have you walked?
What direction to go?
How high
will you reach?
How far
will you soar?
No statistic or
Number you.
Opportunity
Optimism
Future
Hope
Downtown
you marched off
wishing you luck
You disappeared
into destiny arms
Moving in certain
square foreword motion
Experienced
Educated
Skilled
Strong
I remember you
But only after
you staggered aboard
not the same person
Late in the night
on my last run
What happened?
To you this day
Broken
Alone
Broken
Alone
