Todays bus reflections

I watch your chipped pink finger nails
bleach your eyes on public transit,
part of me quivers.

The first crack rock I ever saw was on the bus.
It turned grown men into aggressive whinny five year olds.

The second time I ever saw crack cocaine was at the bus stop.
The trick was over 
I could sense her relief...
or was it the thought of a soon quenched addiction?
(if only for a moment)
It's hard to tell with crack.

The first time I had to deal with I.V drugs
was in my house.
He said he'd do it outside but
it was after midnight,
my neighbors had kids.
What was I suppose to do?
We were all pissed off,
he did it in the bathroom
then never came over again.
