In mile high city style I followed my new trail, to downtown Denver, ridin the RTD and Light Rail. I caught the #35 to connect with the#53, saw the tail end of that bus as it pulled away right in front of me! Next bus in half an hour. Then I jumped on the "0" bus at a "Z" stop, to head south for a job interview. Got off at the next stop to cross the street ( I found out that bus was heading north!) Then I discovered the light rail was a quicker connect from spot "A" to spot "B" and decided Denver's light rail was the best bet for me. But the "D" rail nearly crippled me, I waited in vain downtown for the "Englewood" train. After 2 trains came and went my patience was spent! Then I found out it ws the "Mineral" route train that stops in Englewood to let me out. And once off the train, a new dilemma, again! Now which way is east? North, West, South? In the mile high noon sun all directions merge as one. so I waited awhile in a suffering smile for a kindly bro to tell me which way to go. And by the end of the day I remembered my name, and why I moved to Denver. Now I'm OK. It's good to be back 'home' at PIPS, where I never feel lost! |

If you found your way back here...then you weren't really lost...and you still have your sense of humor! Finding your way around with public transportation can be very confusing. I enjoyed your poem!  [This message has been edited by Martie (08-14-2002 04:26 PM).] |

Thank you Martie, Karilea, Duncan, Nancy, Sy, for the welcome back replies. Colorado is SOOOO cool, even when it's hot. Writing "Rockies" nature poetry may take a while, but human nature will no doubt provide interesting subject matter, and Denver has an endless supply of two legged creatures to observe. |

Hah! I bet you will write up a storm about Denver critters, and Kacy I hope your job interviews go really well for you, good luck (p.s. - how does our music lover in boots like it there?) I hope the frustration of the city subsides adjusting is hard. Nice to see you back. I pass this way but once, here's hoping I meet you. |
