Time waits for the bus
Like any other mortal,
Though he’s never late.

I'm just a poor poet, writing the world as I know it: ultraviolet and lead.

I remember those days of waiting for the bus. Thanks for conjuring old memories. Great haiku!
Jul 26, 2013 @ 01:24:41
Yes! Score one for nostalgia, haha! Thanks 🙂

This is profound
Jul 29, 2013 @ 19:20:17
Thanks! I know that’s a departure from my usual haiku fare 🙂
Jul 26, 2013 @ 13:03:42
Interesting take on the prompt…yes..

Thanks for the thought provoking haiku.
I’m waiting on buses again but have given up waiting on time. Since I stopped saving time, I have lots of it. Time is more like a bowl of jello than a string or measuring tape. A clock has nothing to do with the real thing.
I got too deep for myself there. I’d better swim for the surface and take a breath.;-)

You are quite welcome!
Hmm, time is a bowl of jello–that sounds pretty fun! Like a giant edible moonbounce 🙂
Maybe I got too shallow there; I should get back in the water. 😉

I have to work on this idea of time more, I think. 🙂 Time has gone from being linear back to something more “like a giant edible moonbounce”. I LIKE it. 🙂
You’re quite deep enough for me. 🙂

It seems like a much more useful view of time, doesn’t it 🙂
Aug 01, 2013 @ 14:45:08
It works for me these days. 🙂

I see time as a slinky on an escalator; it’s always moving, but who knows when it will reach the bottom?
Aug 02, 2013 @ 14:02:43
LOVE the “slinky on the escalator”. This conveys the stretchiness of time and also the ability to jam and stop. 😉
Aug 02, 2013 @ 22:20:29
Exactly! I think you could write a great post on this–I would definitely read it 🙂
