Bus Ride
Just a random memory
I'm twenty
On the overnight bus
Indy to New York
Back to college
After Christmas
Window seat alone
Staring at silo silhouettes
First Christmas
After dad died
Dozing on and off
I awake to find
I am not alone
Someone must have boarded
At Zanesville
Maybe Pittsburgh
Sitting next to me
Slumping next to me
Head on my shoulder
He smells of sweat
Cologne
Cigarettes
Exhaustion
And something else
And something else
Fear
Fear
Fear
He's sleeping on my shoulder
Snoring
I'd never smelled fear before
I'd never smelled fear before
Five endless hours
Five
Endless
Endless
Hours
I am a cushion
I breathe quietly
Until dawn
Squealing brakes
He jerks awake
In Philadelphia
He nods
He smiles
He exits
Like nothing happened
But something did happen
But something did happen
I'd never
I'd never
I'd never smelled fear before
I'd never smelled fear before
I'm twenty
On the overnight bus
Indy to New York
Back to college
After Christmas
Window seat alone
Staring at silo silhouettes
First Christmas
After dad died
Dozing on and off
I awake to find
I am not alone
Someone must have boarded
At Zanesville
Maybe Pittsburgh
Sitting next to me
Slumping next to me
Head on my shoulder
He smells of sweat
Cologne
Cigarettes
Exhaustion
And something else
And something else
Fear
Fear
Fear
He's sleeping on my shoulder
Snoring
I'd never smelled fear before
I'd never smelled fear before
Five endless hours
Five
Endless
Endless
Hours
I am a cushion
I breathe quietly
Until dawn
Squealing brakes
He jerks awake
In Philadelphia
He nods
He smiles
He exits
Like nothing happened
But something did happen
But something did happen
I'd never
I'd never
I'd never smelled fear before
I'd never smelled fear before
