Thanks Jon! It's not a daily thing on the bus, thank God, but it's often enough to be bad. Thanks for the comment on the prose; I really need to get out of writing only descriptive prose, but I find it easier to write poetry, so I guess I'm still discovering myself.

Hey Marlene, it's so good to see your post! Your writing has depth and imagery that stops one for a second look. It's very good. I like the lines:

'Granite buildings gleam and glisten,
as if shedding the daily efforts spent therein.'

There's much depth in your brevity, so it's very good to read and think about. :)

Best wishes all, Hanevi.
