Commuter Blues: Dharma Pops on a Bus


He fought the good fight
    but lost the battle--
Cactus flower wins

                                  for Rudy

Show me how
    then I will make
a different way
                              for L.T.


Commuters parade
    into town,
no smiling, no waving


"Money no matter,
    more important be happy"--
Wisdom in broken English


Working mothers 
    hand off their babies--
Morning heartache, evening redemption


Beautiful woman
    plays with her hair,
men watch and dream
