one woman sitting on a bus
much like deathwatching nameless streets and faces pass by
much like deathno one looks in a bus
to see whats inside
just whats offered on the glassmuch like death
more like hellvisits dont come to the woman
she only sits and waits
for her turn to come outher veritable hell
her death
her ridewill anyone notice her
will anyone notice her death
will anyone notice her rideshe steps off just like everyone else.
walks to the places she was destined to
no radicality in her footstepspacing 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 deathalways in different clothes
never quite the sameshe goes to unremarkable places
and visits indeterminate faces
no one recognizes her.much like death
much like a bus rideshe stands and exits the bus
so many times before
the air is different this daythe one woman walks just like everyone else
to the place she was destined to
with the same lackluster stepsonly to be stopped by something remarkable
something utterly eye opening
it glitters in the night skyshe looks at her bland clothes
and notes the crimson spilling out
spattering her nondescript shoesmuch like death
much like a bus ride
she fades awaynot to be noticed
not to be forgotten
