Get on the Bus

Get on the bus
Grab a seatmate
Rest your weary legs
And ride with us

Wrinkle nosed eye rolls for a spilled cruel word
So dated
So limiting
So imitative

You know what?
Call it supercalifragilistic if you want
It's still a saved seat in front of us
And while you watch the road
And note our progress
All we see is the blind back of your head
facing bravely forward

Catching their evil eyes in my cruddy compact mirror
I get distracted by my face
That's what it's made for

Warning:
Objects in mirror are farther than they appear
