Taking a Bus Ride
|
|
by Knyttet
|
|
|
|
I'm sitting in a bus, looking out through the window.
|
|
I don't see anything out there, cause I'm not concentrating, I'm just staring
|
|
out to have something to lay my eyes on.
|
|
I'm listening to the people around me.
|
|
|
|
In front of me there are two middle-aged women, chatting.
|
|
I can't concentrate on what they are saying. It's so uninteresting.
|
|
I'm thinking to myself "I hope I'll never be like that."
|
|
Of course I sometimes gossip with my friends (I'm a woman) but not like this!
|
|
It's like their putting their foot in it with every word they are saying.
|
|
I know that, usually, this kind of talk is nothing to take seriously, it's
|
|
just "bullshit", but why are they talking so much shit about other people,
|
|
not here to defend themselves?
|
|
What's the purpose?
|
|
What is it giving them?
|
|
|
|
Behind me, a teenage boy and girl, kissing loudly.
|
|
I start to dream back to when I was fifteen, kissing in a bus.
|
|
Life was then.
|
|
No responsibility, no duties.
|
|
Easy.
|
|
But I say to myself "I don't want to be there again."
|
|
Cause even though things were easy, you knew that life wasn't real, because
|
|
no one in the "grownup world" took you seriously.
|
|
|
|
To my right, a boy listening to music from a portable CD-player.
|
|
It looks like he is enjoying himself cause he is banging his head, and I
|
|
guess it's because of the music.
|
|
|
|
In front of him, there is an elderly couple.
|
|
They have probably taken the bus just because they have become too old to
|
|
drive. I'm glad there are some that have the sense to realize when they are
|
|
too old to be out on the roads.
|
|
The woman is nagging on the man.
|
|
Why is it always like this?
|
|
Once again I say to myself "don't be like that when you grow old."
|
|
My grandparents are just like that. I can't understand why. Because they know
|
|
that they love each other, so why can't they just be nice to each other the
|
|
last couple of years.
|
|
|
|
Normally, I don't take the bus, but today I couldn't afford the petrol to my
|
|
car, so I had to. Sitting here listening to all these people around me that I
|
|
don't really want to hear but I can't shut their voices out.
|
|
|
|
I begin to feel sorry for all people out there who are forced to go by bus
|
|
every day. I guess you get used to it and I start to think about that day,
|
|
the day that might come when we all will be forced to use public
|
|
transportation because of environmental pollution.
|
|
Until that day I will go in my car, it isn't worth the money to take the bus.
