Bus
I wanted to get on
the wrong bus today.
A bus arrived
empty, but for the driver.
It wasn’t going
where I wanted to go,
but the comfort of open space
was too inviting
and I nearly got on.
God knows
where it was going.
It would have been fun
to see new places
investigate unfamiliar territory
open up the possibility for adventure.
I was tired of waiting around
my bus passing by again
too stuffed to swallow any more
and me still waiting for my space.
