Bus Duty
Wednesday afternoon and all the kids
gathered in front of the building, waiting
for their rides know that today is a summer day,
even if this is the third day of fall semester,
because, my god, the heat index is somewhere
north of ninety-five degrees and the humidity
is the kind you can wade around in. Move
too fast and you’ll splash the person next to you.
Everyone looks kind of slumped and sleepy
and stuck to their clothes. Everyone looks broken.
Best to get home to the AC and a dark room.
Best not to move around too much.
