The Bum On The Bus

on my way
to nowhere
travelling
by bus
on the greyhound
with 40 others
sane and insane
poor and more poor
five hours to nowhere
sitting beside
an asian girl and

behind me and her
is a guy, a young guy
beard, army style
jacket
baggy pants
a paper-back book
in his hands

i had seen him
earlier at the
station
talking to a lady

when i passed him
by at the station
i smelled a stench
of an old wet dog
moulded socks
and i almost gagged

and on the bus
he sat behind me
and the asian girl
and when he passed us by, she looks at me

i smile at her and
she does too
and we have the same though:
you did smell that too?!?

we try to ignore the stench but its hard

to take our minds off of him
we read
she in korean or japanese
i
in english and
through out the 5 hours

the smell reaches, swoops by
us
and
we smile at each other again

after an hour
we forget the smell
becomes
part of the bus ride
part of the experience

me and the asian
don't smile at each other
anymore, not even a glance at
each other

one time
we were connected
by both out disgust but as soon as
we get used to the bum on the bus
we become strangers
and our smiles don't connect
anymore

we were no longer in unison
our nose were no longer friends
we turned into
another people who can ignore
the bum on the bus
