Bus note 87

        He taps sums
        into a fat calculator;
closed face
with vague beard growth.
        Monotony of sky outside.
The cold has been
humiliating.
        Step off and shiver
        and be unprepared.

    It's been a hard winter, isolating, here too. Much uncertainty with the buses. But inability to walk limits options. As in, none.

  2. I don't want no repeat performance, thank you.

    Remarkable bit of film, that. The music was something else.

    Here's to the Spring.
