  • Back of the Bus2.


    • Had it not been for her slight smile, she would have seemed imperious in her ownership of the bench seat in the back of the 7th street bus.

    Her handsome countenance, testimony of her former beauty, was accented by the elegance of her pale gray slacks, pearlescent pink high necked sweater and paisley scarf in shades of charcoal and pink. Her flat heeled black shoes, while old, wore the buttery sheen of years of careful polishing. She was a...

    Leave space in your living habits to accommodate emergencies.

    In our “just in time” society most people live with absolutely no breathing room.
    I never lived like that, and I’m not sure why. Maybe it came from my dad who grew up very poor. I don’t know, but I always live with a bit of margin in my life and never above my means.

    I guess that’s the adult version of “How are babies made” but something I find myself questioning. How did I come to be? How did this quirky, self protective, loner go from my first breath to the person living in my skin? Is there an alternate self hiding in the shadows?

    As he lay there on the blacktop
    He felt no fear or pain.

    He wondered how he got there
    In the stillness of this night,
    The last thing he remembered
    Was the glare of that head light.

    And then he looked on down the road
    And saw the mangled steel,
    The handle bars and spinning tires,
    Broken struts and upturned wheels.

    In that very instant
    He began to feel the pain.
    He saw the river of his blood.
