Hey
Is this the bus station?
So
There is a system to buying a ticket, I’m sure. I will ask him.
He will surely know.
Hey
The bus will arrive when it arrives.
It will surely arrive.
So
Will we have a seat?
What does my ticket say? We will surely be able to sit on the bus.
Hey
Will my luggage be safe here?
It will surely be safe next to these people. I will smile at them so they remember me.
So
Will we stop for some refreshments half way?
Those people have bottled water so I will take some too.
Hey
The bus that has arrived – is that ours?
Everyone in the station has stood up – it must be. But I will need that water.
Surely the bus won’t leave so quickly,
I will kindly ask the driver to wait for us. He will surely wait.
No problem, he’ll wait.
He’s in no rush; no one’s in a rush.
Time, like the endless dunes.
Patience, like the desert shrub waiting for some dew before sunrise.
Hey
we are far away.
So
You have no choice.
