no unscheduled stops

on the bus to school now
branches bare
brown stucco of houses visible where
leaves were two
months ago
everything comes back but
nothing can last
bus turns on to university
at kathryn
all flies past

my poster sits uneasily next to me
one seat up
two blonde girls in blue and red
hoodies say nothing but
lean heads on shoulders
look in each
other's eyes several times
for no reason until I think yes that
is the reason

sign on the window of a house says
season's greetings
feliz navidad
radio plays sleighbell song
on surf guitar
and I look out the other window at
the edge
of the valley thinking
if that were the ocean it looks like
from here I could smell
the salt
