Bus Circle At Night
So there’s a big truck in the campus bus circle
And this guy got out and dragged this huge chain from the cabin, all the way back over the flatbed
And people keep crossing the road and getting in his way
As he’s trying to drag across the asphalt to the front of the bus sitting behind
And I guess this bus is not working right or damaged or something
And he’s hoisting it slowly up onto the flatbed to carry it away
And I can’t help thinking that he’s putting in so much effort just to end up dragging around this huge heavy thing that is broken and doesn’t work
And I’m like
THIS IS MY LIFE DUDE, SAME, DUDE, SAME.
