the bus and marriage and i’m a reverend
Posted on September 30, 2003 - Filed Under general
i jus saw my ex and her fiance and now i’m waiting for a bus listening to a band that i went to high school with. i can’t think of a better way to spend this evening. i need to look into my status as a reverend. my ex want me to marry her off. i can’t think of a better way. i’m so happy for them. they’re the kind of couple you see and just know they make each other so happy. and it’s the kind of happienss that’s contagious.
and it’s a green light so the woman on the red bike is leaving, crossing the street. paused a moment to light a cigarette on her shiny red bike with the sparkly fender.
i look up in the sky and i see mars, been there a month or so, that i’ve noticed, big and bright. beautiful and red in the dark night sky. i’ve been using it to mark directions.

tonight is another night out on the bus for me. i really like relying on the bus. sure it takes me a little longer but it also requires no thought. i can go out, have a few beers, and then take a nice leisurely ride home. i think that’s what i really like about it. the bus forces one to take a more relaxed approach to life (i thin that the song i’m listening to, by the people under the stairs, is giving props to wesely willis). it makes me wait a bit. it pushes me to just slow down, sit back, ride. in the united states, most people are going all the time. i know we have a reputation for being lazy but that’s bullshit really. most people i know work all the damn time. riding the bus makes me stop, if only for a little while.
