Laurie Sutherland
The bus leaves First and Pike
And I open my new old book,
Just rescued from the thrift store.
A yellowed schedule tumbles out,
Seattle Municipal Railway, 1924,
With a note in faded pencil:
Dance tonight at hall -- Joe.
Outside the rain-splashed windows
A Model T glides by.
From Poetry on Wheels,
King County's Poetry on Buse,
Floating Bridge Press, 2006
