Bus Fare for the Uncommon Man
With a transfer to Mission Beach
A set of civvies from the 4.0 Locker Club
Which fool no one; the hair is a sailor’s cut
That book of free verse everyone’s talking about
And a transfer to Mission Beach in hand
We rocket by stops down Lower Broadway
From Horton Square, palm trees and cigarettes
A KOGO radio ad on the back
Salesgirls on, sailors off, YMCA
I’m riding to Mission Beach to read and think –
We could have coffee. And talk. Will I see you there?
