poem [the bus says evil!]
by Tavis Gray
(after Frank O’ Hara)
The bus says evil!
I was walking hard and suddenly
the wind picked up
and it said don’t misunderstand me
but misunderstanding hits you on the head
hard plus smart wind passes and
I was lost in such a hurry
to get home but the sidewalk
was acting exactly like forever
and suddenly I see an ad
the bus says EVIL! but
there was no goateed engine
there were no fanged wheels
I have had a lot of haircuts
and looked perfectly disgraceful
but I never actually became evil
oh evil bus we love you be good
