Mayor and the Bus
Too hot yesterday to walk home
from Barbara’s so I took the bus
down Columbus. Driver announced
his name was MILES.
“This mayor thinks New York
is Europe., he said. “ He’s closing the streets
and wants us all to walk on them.
My bus has to take a detour for
the next five months. I won’t
be driving down Columbus.”
Familiar older Jewish woman
I didn’t know her but I’d like to
her walker on the bus yelled to everyone
Fuck this Mayor
and the whole bus
chanted together before we all got off.
