NIGHT BUS

one JESUS CHRIST crash of thunder
announces
two
flashes
of
day-bright sheet lightning - then the heavy rain stops

weird night weather

i
ride
the night bus
hissing and jolting
thru

red lights
scribbling in awful handwriting
this
tale

she might be 18 19 20
at the back of the bus 
sitting on the edge of her seat
flapping her mouth
down her phones pink ear bud cable
reading out facebook posts to the poster
while posting about the postee
and reading that too
and
saying
YES, NO, OBVIOUSLY !

its a condensed soap opera
distilled
inside square glass
in CAPS
or NOT
a 
mind-reading
blind-copy
witch-hunt
of
snitch-bitching
