The Passengers Want To Sleep

The passengers want to sleep.
They have pane lines
on their heads.
I'm the bus driver.
I'm never tired.
My eyes don't blink,
so I don't miss a thing.
At once, I see the red buick
playing tag with the marquee,
the young female wearing the rain
coat sitting in the front seat,
the swaying yellow road-line,
and that mossy old tree.
