Lysergic Bus Station 1954

From the summer of 1983

I sit here confused in a
bus or it it plane station waiting room
the walls breathe
that man's staring at me!
uh-where's my ticket?
I had it here
with my
cigarettes
and rolling
      papers

Now I'm in the bathroom
       I think
anyway, there' a toilet
and it's making far too much noise
flush
 flush
  flush
and a rubber machine on the wall -
       sex for a dime!!

I piss
shivering
I leave the bathroom

But back out here
the voice from the silver hole in the ceiling says
and I quote
"Quortle miklrandyroff orka orka orka"
Uh - hey - guy, is that my bus?
Or - is it plane?
Turn down the air conditioning,
I think I'm cold.
Ah, there's the
   train.....
I'm getting on a train w/a
BUS TICKET(?)
which I cannot read -
see you in Reno?
