Disasters, Delights and Other Detours - 51. Last Day of School
I watched the yellow bus quiver and shake,
its red lights flashing one last time
in the bright June sun;
through popped-out doors they tumbled out,
a few more prisoners set free,
backpacks bouncing like sunlight through glass,
running to join friends already on their long parole,
anticipating adventure.
And as that cheesewagon offed brakes with a groan
and pulled away,
still one young freed inmate remained,
shoes off,
in an intimate study
of a mudpuddle.
