sore feet didn't matter boba in hand
we were inquisitive, thirsty to learn and surprised by how much we knew
arrogance has its place but not here,
not with people so humble even with their expertise
hands on to offer to every hand that asked
and when dusk fell
haldirams was passed between seats
heads bobbing with the rhythm of the bus
and more than a few asleep
The clock strikes 7
and we're on the streets again
happier with the chill in the air
and smell of food wafting over - a sirens call
alarm set 4 hours later
ootd laid by my bed
a badge with my name on it
and dreams full of blue sky
