journey no. 21 - burning bus

The bus is burning, sparks fly and up the stairs to the front where the sun pierces deep into molten-cut cloth.

'Ding, ding …'

And we're on the move, into the stream, belching smoke and distressed tarmac in our wake.

"Hi, I'm on the bus …'

Disconnected telephone messages weave through the seats from the back, endless mindless, formless chatter spilling across bored and sweating strangers.

'Ding, ding …'

Steps down, steps up, bustle filling empty seats with dog-eared papers and glossies with impossible dreams of virgin-white emasculated smiles. The drone of buzzing head-phones, inner cacophony spitting carelessly into the winding lines of human-traffic, immune to the blazon red stop-start car crash of another casual morning.

'Ding, ding …'

We're there.





Singing from the rooftops






Anyone spot ...


… the young man about to purloin a yellow submarine??

We were marched still further below the darkling green canopy, trees up-rooted and re-forming before our very eyes. We should not have ignored the warning signs as yet again we were shot. This was the place of no return. And we waved goodbye …

give the command to strike the pose
