On a local bus route the wayfarers go accumulated history they would not show battered eyes glare from blood stained sockets embarrased that it is being looked by seasoned passengers bible readers with new testaments in the pockets shout when desperate ethnics pry gifts from empty lockets motion sickness sway young hooligans with their bottles wine swishes around in their guts, the driver tries the throttle. badgered woman wants no more caresses on public transport her lover massages her thighs only for her quick retort. on a local bus route wayfarers go accumulated history they would not show. Can we avoid noticing the solitude the anguish, desperation, fear and lust on bus seats near. [This message has been edited by ecrivan (02-16-2002 06:46 PM).] |

You need a trip to the country...while I am pleased I don't live in the big city... |

 (big hugggsssssss) Oh Martin, I know just how you feel, I always go up to the Rocky Mountains to escape the anxiety of the city and society, this is a very wonderfully expressive poem! (sigh) We all love you so much, sweet freind, this is fabulous! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Martin, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton |

I really enjoyed this one, Martin. Having grown up in a big city and gone to college in another big city, I am very familiar with public transportation...and the types of people you can run into on the buses and such.  I think you represented it very well! copyright2002 Lyra Nesius |

maybe it is the anxiety of the big city that dies this ) |
