More in The Art of Silence
driving past kids at the stop
On the corner by the red townhouses
the children wait each morning for their bus
amongst an orgy of pushes, shoves and prattle
It all stops when the bus rises over the hill
on Riverside Street and slows down for them
The adjust their hats, their jackets, their slacks
and stand in a carefully mandated pecking-order
until, one at a time, they board and sit
the orgy, continues, I expect
only moments later
but I am grateful
I don't know.
