at least I’m not driving right now


beep beep beep beep beep beep
AARGH! SHIT! LATE!

FUCK!
scramble scramble
hectic hectic
rush rush
frantic frantic!
when’s the next bus again?
run run run
pant pant pant
WHEW – just in time
deeeeeeeeep breath – exhale
at least I’m not driving right now

I was heading to the bus stop at 7th and Colorado the other day to catch the #3 south. I've got time to spare. I'm just turning the corner and I see what looks like the 3, but that would be 5 mins. early. Must be another bus. I start to cross the street but there's traffic. I'm craning my neck to the right. Is that the 3? I hop and dart through the traffic just as it pulls off. It is the fuckin' 3! Goddamnit, it's five fuckin' mins. early! I run. I always think I can catch the damn thing when this happens. I take off down Colorado, I'm catching up, but then the light turns green. I give it a go through another intersection. It's over 100 degrees. Finally it's just gone. 25 fuckin' minutes until the next one. Unless it's early. That would be good.
