On the Bus by =platinummyr:iconplatinummyr:

Categories Literature > Poetry > Human Nature > Open


Sitting on the bus,
I hear no words, except to fuss.
I see headphones on many ears,
We all listen, but no one hears.
No talking, just ilde chatter.
Our noise is only clatter.

Our minds are shrouded,
And the bus is crowded.
We refuse to speak, due to fear,
So idle music fills our ear.
And to escape from talking
We ignore it, and keep on walking.

No new meetings in this instance,
For we like to keep our distance.
So much noise, and yet no sound,
But we don't care, we think we're crowned.
If possible, we always take at least two chairs.
Why are we so silent?  Do we even care?

I wrote this poem on the bus...

Its about how people are silent (don't talk to each other) when they ride public transporation.

It sort of reminds me of church trips.... heh. When ever I go on a church trip more than half the bus puts on a set of headphones.

Hmm... Well, I wrote this on the bus, just as I was about to put headphones on...
Bus rides ARE boring, but no body talks no more.

Actually, that changes depending on the area. For my bus rides, people are practically yelling across the bus to each other half the time.

For something to be a masterpiece, it must not only imbue a sense of regret upon completion, but also cause an undefinable longing for the fiction to be anything but. One day, I hope to create something that fits that description.

I know... I know that bus rides are fun for me... when everybody kicks in and has a little fun. Our church takes six hour bus rides sometimes.... s it really is a funny way to bond.

Yeh, well on LONG bus rides, people sometimes talk, specially church, but... on public transportation, not very many peops talk on the bus unless they know each other.
