on the bus I am jittery in my room I am not free in my room I’m in, deep in on the bus, I focus on what he is not saying in my room, I build his thought from words that don’t exist yet. on the bus, I’m foreign I feel separated like I’m the one going I play it safe in my room. I want to step out I want to leave the room when I get back on the bus. he says nothing, his mouth isn’t moving. the only thing going is the bus.

foreign moments of the self
on the bus I am jittery in my room I am not free in my room I’m in, deep in on the bus, I focus on what he is not saying in my room, I build his thought from words that don’t exist yet. on the bus, I’m foreign I feel separated like I’m the one going I play it safe in my room. I want to step out I want to leave the room when I get back on the bus. he says nothing, his mouth isn’t moving. the only thing going is the bus.
