  • one woman sitting on a bus
    much like death

    watching nameless streets and faces pass by
    much like death

    no one looks in a bus
    to see whats inside
    just whats offered on the glass

    much like death
    more like hell

    visits dont come to the woman
    she only sits and waits
    for her turn to come out

    her veritable hell
    her death
    her ride

    will anyone notice her
    will anyone notice her death
    will anyone notice her ride

    she steps off just like everyone else.
    walks to the places she was destined to
    no radicality in her footsteps

    pacing her steps in even motion
    not to be noticed
    she ventures to places known only to her.

    where sweeping dreams are all but reality
    and everyone is her friend.
    everyone notices what goes on.

    she wakes to do the same routine
    one woman sitting on a bus
    much like death

    always in different clothes
    never quite the same

    she goes to unremarkable places
    and visits indeterminate faces
    no one recognizes her.

    much like death
    much like a bus ride

    she stands and exits the bus
    so many times before
    the air is different this day

    the one woman walks just like everyone else
    to the place she was destined to
    with the same lackluster steps

    only to be stopped by something remarkable
    something utterly eye opening
    it glitters in the night sky

    she looks at her bland clothes
    and notes the crimson spilling out
    spattering her nondescript shoes

    much like death
    much like a bus ride
    she fades away

    not to be noticed
    not to be forgotten
