Sittin' readin' tales on the bus to work.
Had a bath, hair washed and fresh clothes, no dirt.
But, all l can smell is the stench of cat pee
from a bloke just plonked down, squashed next to me.

Dry boak, nausea, caused by him
makes me feel angry cos he's nuzzlin' in.
'Fuck off, move, you' l scream inside,
but then l have a think and he's a human, like l ..

Was it me? Makes you reflect at times like that. After 3 weeks on Greyhounds we smelt like the people we had been moving away from at the beginning. ;-)

I had a similar experience to this, but like you say, they're only human. Jenny.

Grounded poetry which I really like. After a couple of reads the incomplete ending seemed perfect, well done denni1.

I am a window-opener. Then there's the immediate window-closer. BANG. Shut again, with a filthy, gloomy glare !! There are different types of drivers/ passengers at different times of the day/ evening. I could write a book !! Thanks for dropping by, Alvin xx
