minority majorus

who dredged the hood?
all recently convicted or released please step up to the track
the 455 bus is departing soon
i swear ive never been so nervous while waiting for public transport
and ive been to the bus depot in schenectady ny
and the train drop in utica
places you would never wish upon your least favorite people
where the bums piss on the benches as they sit two feet to your left
the crack dealers greet you with a lei made of crystal meth
and the hookers set up shop in the bathroom stalls to the shock of many an uncomfortable and weary traveler
yes, ive seen many a thing during my days of waiting
but these "people" took the cake so to say
call me what you will,
and yes i admit freely that i am hobophobic in the worst sense,
but there is only so many cornrowed weaves
wonky eyed femalians
and basic pedophiliac degenerates that one man can stand.
most sincerely when these huddled masses are hunched on the same public bus.
this doesnt even cover the pub scene on a sunday eve
when my sole purpose is to play foosball and relax in a pool of libation
where the conversations range from hellen mirran being wonderful in that crime show on cbs
to why armageddon is a superior movie to the rock
to the bathroom stall scrawl that reads " the night pigions are flying high" with nazi symbols scratched beneath.
all conversations, make of man, and bird i would rather have no part of.
spring is on the way,
you can always tell when the restless natives awake from their winter slumbers
and lurch into the streets like half awake rodents
scrounging for sustenance in whatever form they can find.
