Country:
Bus kids
hair less shiny
than a sunsilk ad
sallowskinned obesity
selfconfidence took an earlier bus
streetwise suspicious
despite their innocence
the main road cleaves
pedicured landscapes from
concrete and couch.
the lucky ones
have one parent
working late
the rich kids already
in warm Family Rooms
on their playstations
while the bus kids wait
stoically
at windswept bus stops
Strange how
a strip of
bitumen
can divide
two
worlds.
