Buspeople

buspeople superbusy have to
stop
for a moment on the bus.
they cannot cut in line while sitting,
cannot increase their wealth,
cannot move up the ladder
of socio-economic wealth.
so, poor people, what must they do but

stop
and stare out the window at the life
they are so speedily passing by.
