The Bus Always Crashes by Adam Levon Brown

Tilting the axis of my world 

and contemplating saffron regrets

mixed with honeyed apologies 

Magnetic memories to cling

to in the distant lonely hours

of the night-side cable crossing

between public transit.

Riding with no real destination

in mind, only a fading image

in the hazy cobwebs of the

mind's eye. Utterance of 

a name I recognized brought

my psyche to a dead-as-graveyard-roses

halt. My Realization is that I'm running

from my past.

There is no exit;

because the past is gone

and all I need is to forget.
