Splinken I rode the greyhound from h-burp to tyler, texas when I was seventeen. We stopped in lousiana and there was a chicken stand in the bus station. A man walked up to some girl in the chicken line and said "HEY GIRL! TAKE THIS MONEY AND BUY ME SOME CHICKEN! I DON'T WANNA STAND IN LINE." She was really scared. 000620 ... Death of my heart is this the closest we will ever be? 001009 ... aj heading home. and maybe for the first time-happy to know where i'll be sleeping tonight. feeling dirty in these clothes i adore-but safe. waiting for these familiar voices my ears already rememember. my eyes pulling me to the window. i'm dragging myself back. 7,8,9...turned up loud enough to block out the drap conversation but not the rain i almost feel dripping down my face. tell me how to feel... 010122 ... yummychuckle i had a dream last night that i was on a public bus with a bunch of family members and we were going to get off and ride these weird bike things for a few miles. in the back of the bus there were a bunch of parrots in really small cages. that is all... 010604 ... Green eyes my friends bus broke down today, she got home an hour late. her mom was scared of were she was, 020225 ... just_inflate you wiggle in your seat i contemplate looking back at you when i do, your blankly staring at the window i observe you for a moment, my stop comes and i wait till morning 021224 ... scuzz The seat next to me, how long will we sit here? I look over, and you sleep as I'm sure you'd prefer. To catch your resting face and hold it in my thoughts seems almost rape. And I look. You're so beautiful, if no one's ever told you. Who are you? I wonder how many people are between our potential meet. My friend, their friend, brother, aunt,friend,fiance,dying grandfather,your friend, you. If only I could walk that road and come to you. So many lives bouncing and occasionally reacting in that transit line. Have we met? 021224 ... zaxary a vehicle for transporting lage amounts of people. i love busses 030406 ... her royal highness the quirk last night was weird. but not a bad weird. it made me realize that time away from you is all i needed to cure my ridiculous little obsession. granted, i'm not completely cured. but i'm well on my way. and no it's not cuz of the new guy. i'm not *that* shallow. it's because it finally hit me that i don't need to wait around forever for something that's not there. wheee this is a good sign. go me. 040315 ... Mokita Waiting for the fucking bus, I'am dreaming of my bike ... Can we have summer now ? 040322 ... me theres a bus in my story but its not working 040923 ... falling_alone i didnt realize why they were waiting until i saw the rest of the people were already off and walking away. i had completely lost myself, thinking of my blue hand and how it seemed like i had hypothermia. but the blue wasn't as bright as it began and i couldn't understand where it all had faded too, that maybe it began to seep into my skin with the ink from today's new addition to the gallery that my mother believes is poisoning me. 041108 ... water is cool waiting for a bus in a foreign country, i saw someone who went straight into me. there was a girl. she was alone, I wasnt. but the bus_stop was sole. and so she started singing. some song about breaking rules with somebody, running away, being alone, and the weather. whenever she would sing something in the wrong way she would start all over again. and it wasnt a whisper, she was really singing. she even kept singing as the bus arrived and she got on. Im not sure if those were informed glances the ones i was there with were sending me. but i, at any rate, was informed. 050120 ... emmi they've started some new project with the bus stops here, they put weird stuff on the rooves of them. today i saw that on one of them was written "are you sure?". on an other one someone had piled a bunch of dishes in a row down the middle. the great thing is that no one can see all this weird stuff unless they're sitting upstairs on a bus passing by the stops. 050120 ... flexible *cue me collasping in the most undignified of manners* "she been drinking?" *amused look* "for once, no." i'm more balanced intoxicated than sober... and that's the first time i've fallen onto a bus, which says something about my general state. 050905 ... epitome of incomprehensibility On the bus, I always end up with a seat next to the window. It messes up my hair. Waaaah. 050905 ... laurah i took the bus in middle school. i miss it terribly that yellow and that pale minty-teal and that forest green with i heart so-and-so scrawled across it 051116 ... devilbunny I'm a moron when it comes to public transportation so I got off at the wrong bus and ended up 5 miles from where I lived so I tried to walk to the nearest bus station but was like 5 minutes late. So I just kept walking until I found a cabbie to give me a ride. That was 3 or so miles later and now my body is killing me. 061110 ... pete we made hesistant eye contact when i passed her waiting for the bus. sharp blue eyes, tanned skin (she must be back from a holiday), blue-green skirt, and a determined yet thoughtful look. a bus soon came, sardined, we both got on and ended up standing side by side, our bodies touching, until two seats, facing each other opened. we sat, not talking, both looking around to see who else shared this jammed bus with us. i didn't recognize anyone. she knitted. eyes kept passing, passing, passing. 070320 what's it to you? who go blather from
