#4

Los Angeles public transportation
makes me cringe.
I hate it more then anything.
and although i make various trips on the bus
through out the week
i never find the experience pleasant.
Here am the day before i turn
seventeen and i already feel my
youthful curiosity fading.

Theres a little girl sitting in front of me
shes about four or five.
i can see her looking at anything and everything.
wide eyed and soaking her surroundings in.
she looks excited and not a moment passes
where shes not looking at something.

"What was that!" she screamed
when the bus came to an abrupt stop.
I wish simple things still entertained me
fascinated me and captivated me,
but tomorrow i turn seventeen
and i just reached my stop.
