Bus Fare

Bus Fare


Real life hurtling at 50
Right for our living room straight,
Playing a game of chicken
The rules I cannot relate.

And how to gracefully take it?
I just want to tuck and roll,
But the plan was ever to stand here, us two
And let the damn thing take its toll.

But I'll do my best ever to shield you,
In what little measure I can
Letting it be -
Take the shards into me,
Leave the credit for my little man.
