The Bus
I was the last passenger of the day,
I was alone on the bus,
I was glad they were spending all that money
just getting me up Eighth Avenue.
Driver! I shouted, it´s you and me tonight,
let´s run away from this big city
to a smaller city more suitable to the heart,
let´s drive past the swimming pools of Miami Beach,
you in the driver´s seat, me several seats back,
but in the racial cities we´ll change places
so as to show how well you´ve done up North,
and let us find ourselves some tiny American fishing village
in unknown Florida
and park right at the edge of the sand,
a huge bus pointing out,
metallic, painted, solitary,
with New York plates.
