no school bus

has there ever been
a more true
happiness than
the school bus not arriving
on the corner
to pick you up.
what joy you felt.
no school today.
the parents already gone,
impossible to walk
the ten miles to class.
the relief of it all
as you walked back home
with books in hand
then grabbed a ball and glove,
eating your
lunch already.
