& I'm not sure why
I was so proud of myself
for walking to the bus
in 45 minutes
& then the bus didn't come
I have never in my life
Known the 82 to take more than twenty minutes
& that's like if one broke down
it's six minutes on peak
ten minutes off
it is the ONLY line
that has ever FELT to me
LIKE Chicago
BUT no, I can't even say that with a straight face
what I meant was
IF you're going to TRANSLATE actual
MASS TRANSIT
to HOUSTON
EIGHTY two, just sayin
BUT
I got there at seven fifteen
I shoulda made the seven twenty four
ten busses went east
in the FORTY five minutes I waited
it had RAINED
and people kept splashing me
I kept moving back
my dress is terry cloth-- it's basically a towel
AND they KEPT managing
UNTIL I was screaming at them
& FLIPPING them off
I ALSO said ALOUD
it is a GOOD thing I'm not walking around with a GUN
then two other people got there
and I had I REALLY
GOOD experience
