"I don't think he was on his lunch break, he was still on the job as he couldn't get time off for Ramadan."
"Yes, he was fasting, still on route and could not get of, so with the need to pray, he chose to do so within his short break before he changed routes."
" Wisdom to him was knowing that he must pray."
"The room was dark and his skin was a shadow that could be seen by those who noticed and looked closely."
" I noticed, so I looked closely.
He placed the newspaper down on the ground."
"?"
"At first I thought it was the wipe up the ***** that could have found but then he knelt down."
" I was puzzled and I knew my face showed it ... so I watched him, my head cocked to the side, eyes fixed, I chose to reside, I was conscious of those around me, buses that passed slowly, but, he had me fixed, awestruck, so I chose to reside."
"He bent over, head down, mumuring words; I could not make out the sounds."
"And then he stood up, head down, head up, I could not make out a sounds."
" I knew I should have looked away, that it was a private moment and I was disturbing it, but I was not the middle man for his prayers."
" I was the onlooker, curious of the man who made a newspaper his prayer-mat and the bus, his prayer-room."
" So I watched, three minutes go by, eyes fixed, this one kid sees me staring and follows my gaze, tracing it back to the earnest praying man."
" Then he looks with me, then it's us, it's us watching him; the man on the bus with his paper-mat."
