bus geniuses

a couple of weeks back, I was travelling to my office in the bus, an amusing thing happened. the bus reached an intermediate transit center, behind a county school/kindergarten bus which broke down or something. the result, about 15 kids with their moms, hopped into the bus.

i was sitting in the last row, with a full view of the bus, scenery on my left/right and music as usual. the following words are the next 20 minutes in that bus.

as the moms settled, the murmur, heat and arguments started fading,

like marbles rolling on the floor, they dribbled around the front cabin;

the sudden brake, the teddy bear bag tethered fellow started trembling

pablo rolled with his crayons, paint hands  etching on his slate, a goblin.

not just me, affixed were all on the holocaust events up and happening,

as planck scratched the cat’s ears with a bill, after Schrödinger’s this is it!

while johhny bravo checked her out, new gen learning fast, is that it?

freud with his lego bricks, just explained what cathexis is, so brightening.

in times of war, britney’s feat brushing the barbie , couldn’t be overlooked

so was newton’s disbelief, on how the whole mass moved with a small sole;

sylar stabbed the note with the pencil, hiro made the mickey watch stop,

she just sat, nodding, wobbly, swinging her legs, swaying monitor cut cool. 

as one was eating and just looking around, ah, that is our John & Jane

amidst the geniuses, I thought he was our quintessential common one

the tube light kid, the ‘Observer’ I guess, sat there, alienated amused

that’s our stupid blogger,  giving me a cold stare, the silence and recluse.

staring at one of the note-books, that was our red eye glassed to-be geek,

who is this, stephen kneeling on seat, sipping n looking out of the window,

mozart frantically tapped his feet in seat support, fists in the poles sleek,

as all the exemplary activities, accomplice-d by their  so noisy crescendo.

abruptly the task force was interrupted, the props being packed

as a new bus, awaited them in the next transit center, all sacked,

cast spell of those minutes vanished, in front of me, sanity returned

dread faded, arguments, work, worries, maths resumed, continued..
