round, a round older man; newspaper scanning. yellow jacketed. sideburns, with a chubby Eric Idle look. a young lady all in black. curled mouth; looking insecure - or maybe angry. red headphone cable a nice touch. a middle aged woman; middle eastern… christian? glasses and dyed dark hair; smiles while thumbing through her iPhone. an asian woman; vacantly pretending not to see a thing. pink lipped - she sees all; says nothing. a girl in red; jeans with scarf. reading tight lipped on her tablet. black & white wheelie bag sits obediently at her feet. between them all I got transfixed; my thoughts go round and round. I missed my stop.

the people in the bus go...
round, a round older man; newspaper scanning. yellow jacketed. sideburns, with a chubby Eric Idle look. a young lady all in black. curled mouth; looking insecure - or maybe angry. red headphone cable a nice touch. a middle aged woman; middle eastern… christian? glasses and dyed dark hair; smiles while thumbing through her iPhone. an asian woman; vacantly pretending not to see a thing. pink lipped - she sees all; says nothing. a girl in red; jeans with scarf. reading tight lipped on her tablet. black & white wheelie bag sits obediently at her feet. between them all I got transfixed; my thoughts go round and round. I missed my stop.
