Waiting to go up the Drive


Lots of folks waiting to go up the “Drive”, the stop is crowded. A bus will be along soon, people waiting are a good sign. Dashes to the back of the bus, and you have a seat instead of standing and hanging on to a grimy hand bar. Waiting to go back from the Safeway and Skytrain station, the regular crowd hanging on to their purchases. I watch a Chinese girl watching a bare chested Latino watching every one else watching him. He closes his shirt after sitting on the bus a few minutes. A young Christian girl with a gold crucifix and headphones completely covering her ears avoids looking at me while we wait for the next bus.
