always really full
regret and sadness inside
view from afar bleak

mister bus driver

Rumbles past my door
It’s the N, trundling down
Godspeed, ye wage slaves

I mumble as it careens
are we on two wheels?

mean lady drives bus
turns bring pain to us, not her
in hell, she will burn

no bus forever
then two arrive together
are they connected?

What’s that odd rumbling?
A vintage streetcar rounds Church.
I look up. Day. Made.

Harmonic heaven.
A man, his voice and guitar
Serenades us all.

bus to the de Young?
civil servant grunts “out front”
but which side of street?
Driver on cell phone
stink-eyes me upon boarding

Ran to catch the ten
Got in, sat down, until told
I was on thirty.

Waiting, bus delayed
Blasting sun bakes my poor skin
Happy Pride, S.F.

Mother and Daughter
Sitting side by side, same look
Exact same hairdo

At the stop before
this one you wait through two lights
made me late to work
At the stop before
this one you wait through two lights

To Persia, and to Prague
My MUNI pass a passport.

Shivering in the fog
while the driver eats her chips.
Can we wait on the bus?

Ba-door! shouts the man
Leaving off the consonants.
