The second of my collections of poems written for "Express It In Eight."
As usual these days, I choose blog format because it offers more space for the work.

Buses

Good things come to those who wait,
unless they’re buses in England
and then the winter ones are worst,
leaving you standing in the slush,
the cold creeping through your coat
and breath frosting in the gloom;
so when one finally appears it brings
two others and all are full.
