And The Big Bus Goes By

And The Big Bus Goes By

With

Isolation

Hesitation

Trepidation

I exit my apartment

I see no one outside

I board the bus through the middle door

No interaction with driver

Alone in the bus

I go to my “essential” retail job

Five days a week

And the big bus rolls by

People inside sheltering in place

Working from home

With

Isolation

Hesitation

Trepidation

Description

Public transportation has played an important role in providing structure to my day and has forced me to exercise by walking to the bus stop and by walking around the store providing information to customers. I pay homage to the local bus system.
