Oh Grayhound, how I hate thee
No heat, no space, no light
I wait longingly to be free
But sit confined through a sleepless night
A sea of hickies and B.O.
Jerry Springer never seemed so real
The bus crawls along so slow
And I long for a full meal
Mental hospital in this town
Next to the prison district
Crazies come aboard by the pound
Followed by jouvenile convicts
Finally an announcement, light, and then the cold night...
Chapel Hill, NC, 2002
