RIDER

High noon on a sunlit day;

A draped figure, face hidden

Under a pulled-up hood

Stands at a bus stop. There is

An iron halo, dim-gleaming,

Floating over her head. The Q44

Pulls up. She offers the driver

A transfer that expired in 1926

But he accepts it, nodding her

Towards an empty seat.
