- 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.
