Sunday Poem: “Safety First”

 

Public transit

becomes dangerous.

 

More robberies,

sexual assaults

than ever.

 

Police storm bus stations,

charging three

for possessing open alcohol containers,

and no less than forty-nine

for failure to produce

proof of payment.

 

For all other needs,

please call 911.
