  • I will compose something off the cuff about something that happened to me yesterday.

    On the Bus

    A woman gets on, shuts the window

    Perfume chokes me, did she bathe in it?

    I want to do something, scream at her

    Open the window, dare her to close it 

    Of course, I do nothing

    Except, as I get off

    I give a feral stare, she is puzzled
