The C Bus
packed to the brim with
restless laborers,
the aged,
the handicapped, and
the poor
Journeying to the sunshine city seeking a
reward for their labor,
rejuvenation for their aged and
their handicapped, and
remuneration for their poor.
This bus,
this tin of sardines,
this ship of stacked slaves journeying
for freedom,
for liberating labor,
for a bath in the salty sea.
