Yellow School Bus
by Ken Hada
|
On rainy mornings too
the big bus crawls
to a squeaky stop
the creaking sound
of a door opening
a strange yellow world.
Cautiously you climb
the stairs one step
at a time, like a puppy
lost in a crowded pen
your eyes careen
confusing horizons
scanning here or there
until the driver’s call
– your father’s hand
touching you forward.
