Thoughts on a 30mins Bus Ride Home
.

Life is like a bus ride.
We imagine what is it like to be somewhere else.
What is it like to not sit on the bus but by the tree
Along the roadside.
To watch the buses pass by.
We wonder what kind of life the person sitting beside us led.
We think about all the other possibilities if we were elsewhere,
Spending time not traveling, but living.
Not dreaming, but be-ing.

I listen to the beats and tunes,,,,
Yet barely hear the birds chirp""
The grass shoots!!!!
It is like a bus ride, because i think this is the route.
But i never know if i would meet an accident..__a trail of
Expected accidents.
Along the road, anything could happen?
I saw that green passing bin, staring out at me.
It never moves, but it always notices.
Or is that just my imagination.

Life is a bus ride.
I struggle to get off.
And when i am done,
I get on to another bus ride.
We continue to sit beside strangers,
Lovers, Friends, People, Animals.
We give up out seats for those who need a dose of kindness
I give up my seat because it just seems right.
I hold on to the bars and handles, for the road is seldom flat or straight.
Because God invented gravity.
And inertia. And...

Life is a freaking long bus ride.
Time crawls at snail's pace.
And the snail never considered reverse.
Nothing is certain.
Just like the stranger beside me.
All probabilities of a saint, or a sadist.
But all in the same bus ride.
All heading home.
All combating against this traffic.
This Jam. This butter.

We got on the wrong bus rides.
I dont want to talk about its.
We got off at the wrong bus stops.
I dont want to think about its.

I can press the stop button if i want to?
I planned to, didnt i.
Why did i miss the stop then.
Have i overslept.
Quit asking if this is a dream.
This is reality./!/?
We miss our stops.
I got down and walk.
Home.


Life is a bus ride.
Not two bus rides,
Because i Only have One life.
I Only have enough coins for One trip.
One chance.
One bus ride home.

In all certainty.
This Bus Ride will one day reach my destination.
This Bus Ride will end.
Just W H E N
And before that happens, may i smile,
And enjoy this ___ Bus Ride
