Loading ...The first thing you learn as a freshman is that the 51 bus will get you pretty much anywhere around Berkeley. The next thing you learn is that 1) it’s never on time and 2) you will see at least three (one right after the other) traveling in the opposite direction.
And so these revelations inspired a few normal students–just like you and us–to write haikus about nature. Well, the nature of buses, that is.
The original poster wrote:
bq. I always see you
As I pass by the bus stop
…Unless I need you
One person commented:
bq. the 51s go
one right after the other
both too full to board
Another suggested:
bq. twenty minutes pass
hours still with none in sight
rejoice! here comes three
Then Bears Necessity got in on the act, albeit a little bit off topic:
bq. Write about the bus
To get away from desk job
My internship sucks
Those were all very lovely, but how about one more, courtesy of the Clog?
I’m holding the bar,
Armpit odor in the air.
Babe, that smell’s all me.
