miss the bus

By Averi Halbert

Have you ever tried

To miss your bus

And instead walked down the street

At a leisurely pace

No music

No screens

Just the leaves beneath your feet

The people around you

And then the cafe around the corner

Maybe sit down for a minute or two

Let time pass you by

Have you ever tried

To miss your bus
