Waiting
For The Bus
Every morning, the mothers and grannies
of my neighborhood hustle their children out of the house before day break to
catch the bus to school. The Zero South
bus would take them to the Gong Guan Depot and there they would then scatter,
each taking addition bus lines going to their own school. It would be the first
of several long bus rides before they returned home in the evening with their
heads crammed full of lessons that hopefully would bring them each a better
future. They were lucky.
